The annual meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology showcases the latest, most impactful research findings in the molecular life sciences. Our exciting agenda includes talks by the field's foremost experts and highlights cutting-edge advances that are transforming how we make discoveries. We encourage scientists of all career stages and areas of specialty to join us and present their work.

We are particularly excited about the breadth and integration of topics covered at this meeting. Creativity and innovation emerge from intersections — of perspectives, approaches and experiences. This makes the annual meeting fertile ground for transformative ideas and new collaborations.

The thematic symposia explore the many molecules and processes that make life possible. This year we are pleased to feature sessions on new, empowering tools in chemical, structural, and synthetic biology; on rapidly developing areas in metabolism, molecular transport and pseudoenzyme function; and on new directions in cancer biology, RNA and the metals of life.

In addition to the symposia, there will be keynote lectures, interest group sessions, workshops, networking, career-development activities, and exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities for industry partners.

Early-decision abstracts should be presented by October 30, 2024 to be notified of decisions by November 14, 2024. Early decisions notification will include acceptance/rejection but will not include presentation format. Decisions on oral or poster presentation will be sent in January.
