Topics consistent with the programme

  • Enzyme mechanisms, protein structure and protein dynamics
  • Gene regulation, chromatin biology and RNA processing
  • Lipid biochemistry, metabolism and membrane biology
  • Cell signalling pathways and post-translational modification
  • Chemical biology and molecular approaches to drug discovery
  • Biochemistry and molecular biology education research

Based on the published scope; the official page sets out the full themes and requirements.

Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. The work addresses a question in biochemistry or molecular biology.
  2. The abstract presents data and conclusions, not only a proposed approach.
  3. The abstract type is right: regular, or poster-only late-breaking for newer results.
  4. All authors agree to publication of the abstract in the JBC virtual supplement.
  5. A complete, co-author-approved abstract is submitted before 8 December 2026, or 27 January 2027 for late-breaking posters.

Why This Conference Matters

Biochemistry and molecular biology provide the mechanistic understanding on which much of modern biomedical research depends. The ASBMB Annual Meeting brings together researchers studying molecules, pathways and cells, together with educators and trainees, and offers a setting where mechanistic findings can be discussed in depth. Publication of abstracts in a JBC virtual supplement gives presenters a citable record, and the late-breaking route allows recent results to be shared.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular and cell biology
  • Structural biology
  • Chemical biology
  • Science education

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and medical schools
  • Research institutes
  • Biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies
  • Primarily undergraduate institutions

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Mechanistic insights into how biomolecules function or are regulated.
  2. New methods or tools that improve how biochemical questions can be studied.
  3. Findings that link molecular mechanisms to cellular or physiological outcomes.
  4. Educational research that improves teaching of biochemistry and molecular biology.

Ideas You Could Develop

Enzyme allostery studyAn abstract on structural and kinetic analysis of an allosteric regulatory site in a metabolic enzyme.
RNA-binding protein functionAn abstract describing how a newly characterised RNA-binding protein affects transcript stability in cells.
Course-based research experienceAn education abstract evaluating a course-based undergraduate research experience in biochemistry.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 8 December 2026. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 27 Oct 2026

    Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.

  2. By 10 Nov 2026

    Agree the key result, the authors and the presenting author.

  3. By 24 Nov 2026

    Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.

  4. By 1 Dec 2026

    Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.

  5. By 6 Dec 2026

    Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.

  6. By 8 Dec 2026

    Submit through the official abstract system before the deadline.

What you gain

  • Feedback from peers working on the same questions.
  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

The meeting seeks abstracts across biochemistry and molecular biology, including mechanistic, structural, cellular and educational research. Regular abstracts are due first, while late-breaking abstracts are accepted for poster presentation only. Clear data and conclusions are likely to be expected, since abstracts are published in a JBC virtual supplement. Authors should confirm topic categories and submission rules on the official abstracts page.

FAQs

Questions Researchers Ask

The next published deadline is 8 December 2026. Dates can change, so confirm them on the official page before you plan your work.

Late-breaking abstracts are described as poster-only, so authors hoping for consideration for other formats may need to submit by the regular deadline. Authors should check the official abstracts page for current rules.

The official page lists abstract submission; check it for any full paper or proceedings option.
