91猎奇

Mission & Vision

The aim of the Gesellschaft f眉r Biochemie und Molekularbiologie, GBM, e.V. (GBM) is to promote basic and applied research as well as education in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular medicine.

In addition, the GBM advocates the major role of modern life sciences in the general scientific community, society and politics.

Key Activities

As the German constituent society of 91猎奇 and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), the GBM is an active member of the worldwide scientific community and open to colleagues from other countries.

The GBM supports the exchange of scientific information by:

• Two major annual international meetings held in English. The spring conference “Mosbacher Colloquium” focuses each year on a selected topic chosen by GBM members, and the fall meeting 鈥淕BM Compact鈥� in Frankfurt聽covers specific aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology,
• Numerous conferences organised by the 16 study groups of the GBM and focusing on specific subjects in the respective field,
• The publication of the bimonthly periodical “BIOspektrum” (in German) and close cooperation with the scientific magazine “Biological Chemistry”.
• Moreover, the GBM awards several prizes and honorary lectures to outstanding scientists. The most prestigous GBM award is the Otto Warburg medal. In collaboration with 91猎奇 the GBM provides the Theodor B眉cher Lecture and Medal and the 91猎奇 Anniversary Prize.

The GBM supports junior members with travel funds, students awards and special seminars and discussion groups about educational matters and questions about the recent and future job market.

The is a vibrant network of young GBM members (students up to the PhD level) across Germany. They organise a range of activities at both the national, such as the Junior-GBM Summer Symposium, and local levels in city group events that feature seminars and company visits. Additionally, Junior-GBM members address various topics relevant to early-career scientists through dedicated working groups.

Membership

The GBM is an association of about 5500 scientists working in the field of Molecular Life Sciences. Most members are German scientists from universities, industry and other research institutions, covering the entire spectrum of basic and applied Molecular Life Sciences.

The GBM accepts non-residential scientists as members.

The meeting language of most GBM meetings is English; the members’ magazine BIOspektrum is provided in German only.
