The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) unites biochemists and molecular biologists in 77 countries. The IUBMB aims to promote research and education in biochemistry and molecular biology worldwide, especially in areas where the subject is still in its early development.

The IUBMB seeks to advance the international molecular life sciences community by:

• Promoting interactions across the diversity of endeavours in the molecular life sciences
• Creating networks that transcend barriers of ethnicity, culture, gender and economic status
• Creating pathways for young scientists to fulfill their potential
• Providing evidence-based advice on public policy
• Promoting the values, standards and ethics of science and the free and unhampered movement of scientists of all nations
