Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure and an honor to extend to you a warm invitation to attend the 16th International Conference of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, to be held July 17 – 21, 2016 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, East Building in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The 2016 Conference is jointly organized by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), the Canadian Society for Molecular Biosciences (CSMB) and the Pan-American Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (PABMB).

The theme of the 2016 Conference ‘Signalling Pathways in Development, Disease and Aging’ will underpin the need for collaboration and cooperation of individuals from a wide range of professional backgrounds.

Vancouver is an exceptional location for the Congress. It is renowned as one of the world’s most outstanding convention cities, with the sparkling Pacific Ocean and towering Coast Mountains providing a unique and spectacular setting.  The IUBMB 2016 Conference will be held in the East Building of the Vancouver Convention Centre right under the famous sails and perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean with wonderful space for both scientific presentations and commercial exhibition.

The social program highlighting our West Coast cuisine, unique culture and arts, combined with the breathtaking natural beauty and pre- and post congress meetings and tours will underscore the role of Vancouver as one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

The IUBMB 2016 Conference will provide a wonderful forum for you to refresh your knowledge base and explore the innovations in proteomics and genomics. The Conference will strive to offer plenty of networking opportunities, providing you with the opportunity to meet and interact with the leading scientists and researchers, friends and colleagues as well as sponsors and exhibitors.

We hope you will join us for a symphony of outstanding science, and take a little extra time to enjoy the spectacular and unique beauty of this region.

With best wishes,

Randal N. Johnston
IUBMB 2016 Conference Chair
