Grad Student/Postdoc Chapters

The ASBMB Grad Student/Postdoc Chapters were created in 2023 to provide leadership opportunities and a sense of community to grad students and postdoctoral researchers in the molecular biosciences. Chapters are member-led and will select their own officers and organize their own events.

Support provided by the ASBMB includes:

  • Opportunity to apply for travel awards to the ASBMB annual meeting
  • Discounts for attending the ASBMB annual meeting and other events
  • Access to one $500 networking grant
  • Connections with ASBMB members from industry, academia and government
  • Ability to provide feedback to ASBMB leadership about the professional development resources you need
  • Opportunity to serve as judges at the Undergraduate Poster Competition
  • Connections with ASBMB headquarters for planning and promoting special events
  • Opportunity to serve as a leader of the chapter
  • Access to Active Site, the ASBMB community platform, to communicate with chapter members as well as members of all ASBMB Grad Student/Postdoc Chapters
