INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

The 3rd International Conference, organized annually by the Indonesian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ISBMB), serves as a premier platform for scientific dialogue, fostering the exchange of ideas, and addressing contemporary challenges through innovative research. This annual event brings together scientists, researchers, and professionals from diverse fields to discuss and explore the latest advancements in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. With a focus on bridging education, foundational research, and applied sciences, the conference emphasizes collaborative efforts to promote breakthroughs in science and their application for societal benefit. The International Seminar in conjunction with The 28th Annual National Conference of the Indonesian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ISBMB) is scheduled to take place in June 2025 at the IPB Convention Center, Bogor.

ISISBMB carries the theme "Synergizing Agriculture, Marine Science, and Health through Biochemistry" this prestigious event highlights the critical role of genomic biochemistry in addressing pressing global issues. It aims to connect research and innovation in Agriculture, Marine science, and Health, Fostering multidisciplinary collaborations to develop sustainable solutions.

The International Seminar in conjunction with The 28th Annual National Conference of the Indonesian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ISBMB) will be held on :
