​​On April 30, 2018, the PSBMB Board of Directors and Officials of UP Visayas Chemistry Department conducted a meeting discussing the Terms of Reference in hosting the 45th PSBMB Annual Convention and the 18th RevUp in Iloilo City.

​The 18th RevUp TOR was presented by Dr. Gracia Fe Yu, Past President of PSBMB and RevUp Chair. UP Visayas, represented by Dr. Rolly G. Fuentes, agreed with the terms and will be hosting the 18th Reviews and Updates in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology late September.

Speakers will be from the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB) in UP Diliman and PSBMB BOD to discuss updates in BMB subjects and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) on Biotechnology.
