The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB)
has approved the proposal from the Brazilian Society for Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology (SBBq) to host the 23rd IUBMB Congress in Brazil
at the city of Foz do Iguaçu on August 24th to 28th, 2015, as a joint meeting with the 44th Annual Meeting of SBBq.
The knowledge of the biochemical aspects of life has increased
dramatically over the years. Starting from the characterization of
single molecules we have reached the study of the complex interactions
of biological components and we are heading towards the computational
simulations of complete biological systems. This knowledge shed a light
on the past of our planet and may also enlighten its future. The IUBMB
Congress is an opportunity to strengthen our networks and make a better
world.
