  1. Artificial intelligence and structural prediction/drug design
  2. ​Biochemistry and climate change
  3. BMB education and training
  4. Cancer biology and metabolism
  5. CRISPR based gene editing
  6. Gene regulation
  7. Immunology
  8. Mass spectrometry-based -omics and disease
  9. Metabolism and metabolic disease
  10. Protein structure, synthesis and folding
  11. Signal transduction
  12. Vaccine development and delivery systems

Interest group sessions are two-hour minisymposia held on the first day of the meeting, March 23.

Organizers will secure a lineup of diverse speakers and create ample time for Q&A, panel discussions and networking to facilitate community building.

Submit a proposal to lead an interest group.

Decisions will be sent by Oct. 26, at which time a final speaker list will be required.
