The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) is devoted to promoting research and education in biochemistry and molecular biology throughout the world by uniting Biochemists and Molecular Biologists in 75 countries.

As it gears towards its 64th year, the IUBMB is partnering with its affiliate, the Philippine Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (PSBMB) through the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) to host its IUBMB Education Conference 2019 in conjunction with its 46th PSBMB Annual Convention on November 13-15, 2019 at The Manila Hotel, Manila City, Philippines with a theme, Harnessing Interdisciplinary Education in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

This 3-day event will provide a great venue for Educationists, Research Faculty, Researchers, and aspiring young scientist educators to meet, discuss and build international collaborations.
The event will be a great opportunity for gaining new insights and renewed engagements in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education under an interdisciplinary background. Among the highlights are the round table discussions and mini lectures on BMB Education for K-12 Teachers, BMB Education for Medical School Educationists, BMB Education for Undergraduate and Post Graduate, BMB in Health Sciences, Tools in Teaching BMB, BMB Continuing Education in the Industry, Publishing in Education, and Laboratory Classes in BMB Education,  to surface out issues, challenges and best practices that may advance BMB Education in the region and in the world in general. There will be Plenary sessions by renowned researchers and academicians.  There will be interactive round table sessions and mini lectures followed by open discussion time. The event will also feature the Clara Lim-Sylianco (CLS) Lecture and a competition for undergraduate research projects, the Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF).

To promote advancement in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology in the country, the Philippine Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (PSBMB) - Visayas Chapter hosted its 2nd Regional Symposium on February 21-22, 2019 at the Visayas State University Convention Center.

With the theme “Bringing Health and Wellness to new Heights through Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”, the symposium gathered more than 80 participants from different state universities in Visayas.

These include the resource speakers from Southern Leyte State University, University of Eastern Philippines, Silliman University, and VSU, with special participation from the new CHED-RO8 Director Dr. George M. Colorado CESO III, PSBMB National President Dr. Frank Heralde III and PSBMB Board Of Director Dr. Grace Fe Yu.

Dr. Junie B. Billones, a VSU alumnus who graduated as Magna Cum Laude in agricultural chemistry, served as keynote speaker. Dr. Billones talked about computational biochemistry, the advanced approach in finding new drugs for “superbugs” or the “drug-resistant microorganisms”.

Meanwhile, Dr. Colorado, also inspired and encouraged all the researchers and budding scientists-to-be to create projects that will contribute to the Gross Domestic Product of the Philippines.

The two-day event involved activities such as plenary lectures, trade exhibits, poster presentations, election and induction of new PSBMB members and elected officers.

VSU College of Arts and Sciences through the respective Departments of Biology, Biotechnology, and Pure and  Applied Chemistry headed by Dr. Candelario Calibo in partnership with RainPhil Inc., DIAMED, and Krypton International co-hosted this year’s regional symposium.

Dr. Calibo, the PSBMB President - Visayas Chapter, highlighted the importance of the regional fora to educators involved in these fields.
​
“I teach biochemistry but its recent development together with molecular biology is awesome to cope up with. Hence, our invited young resource speakers could provide glimpses of its tremendous progression especially in the field of medical sciences,” said Dr. Calibo.
