The field of biomolecular science is progressing at a
breath-taking rate, providing a molecular understanding of the natural world; and
driving innovation in biology, medicine, nutrition, agriculture, physiology,
genetics, and immunology.
One example of the exciting developments in the field is
the recent revolution in RNA technology. Given the correct “message”, our bodies can
be harnessed as powerful factories for the production of vaccines for diseases, such
as COVID-19. In another exciting development, our immune cells can be reprogramed to
recognise mutations in cancer cells. Techniques for gene editing, such as CRISPR,
are making possible enormous advances in health care and agribioscience. The
convergence of molecular sciences with environmental science and climate change is
leading to exciting bioengineering approaches to redress climate change and to
increase sustainability. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence has solved a 50-year old
grand challenge in biology - accurately predicting the 3D structure of proteins.
This game-changing technology will greatly accelerate our understanding of molecular
processes; and drive drug discovery.
BMH2024 will be one of the biggest international
research conferences in basic biomolecular science. It will disseminate new
developments in research and education to members of the academic, research and
industry communities, and more generally to the public.
You will have the chance to connect with colleagues from
across the world exchanging ideas and research and building valuable professional
networks that will extend beyond the Congress itself. To complement the scientific
program, you will also be able to experience a showcase of the latest products and
services in the exhibition, an integral element of the Congress.
Throughout the Congress, you will experience Melbourne
at its finest. It is a truly global city with a rich multicultural mix celebrating
the creativity and diversity of its people and the city.
Take the opportunity to contribute to the global
discussion - Call for Abstracts are now open. Register
now to take advantage of early bird savings and join us for
what promises to be an outstanding Congress experience.
We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to
the Congress and our great city. Join us to Discover, Create, Innovate.
