With this joint congress, GBM and FEBS expect to bring together a wide range of researchers from all across Europe and further afield to explore "The Biochemical Basis of Life". The congress takes place under the framework of the biennial GBM conference "GBM - Molecular Life Sciences", and the joint event will cover the entire spectrum of molecular biosciences with symposia on "Mechanisms of Gene Expression", "Membranes, Receptors & Bioenergetics", "Structural Biology & Biophysics", "Systems Biology, Bioinformatics & Theoretical Biology", "Molecular Neuroscience" and "From Chemical Biology to Molecular Medicine". 

We trust that the congress will offer ample opportunities for fruitful discussions as well as the possibility to initiate new friendship, collaborations and joint projects.
