About KSBMB

KSBMB Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

As the academic society with the longest history in Korean biochemistry, the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology aims to promote the advancement of science and technology as well as the improvement of human health by contributing to the academic development and distribution of biochemistry and molecular biology.

The Society was founded as ‘The Korean Biochemical Society’ in 1948. In 1995, it was renamed to ‘The Korean Society of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology’ to keep pace with changes in the academic development of the times. In January 2010, The Korean Society of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the two largest societies in biochemistry and molecular biology in Korea, consolidated under the name of the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in January 2010.


As the largest academic society currently, with 12 thousand members in the associated biosectors, the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology holds academic conferences more than 5 times a year and issues 3 journals and webzines. In addition, the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has won the medical grand award from the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences 4 times, winning the award for 3 consecutive years between 2007 and 2009. It is positioned as a representative society leading the Korean biosectors.


‘Experimental and Molecular Medicine (EMM)’, the international journal of the Society, is the first biomedical science journal in Korea and was selected as an excellent international journal by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies and the National Research Foundation of Korea. The journal was evaluated and accepted for coverage in the Web of Science (Science Citation Index; SCI) by the Institute for Science Information (ISI) in 2002. In addition, EMM joined the Nature Publishing Group in 2013 and became a global journal.

As a Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) covered journal, ‘Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Reports (BMB Reports)’ is being issued in a new journal format with short reports and delivers new scientific findings and knowledge to readers in a fast and timely manner. BMB Reports is the first to adopt the new journal format in Asia.


For international academic exchange, the Society officially joined the Federation of Asia and Oceania Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) in 1973 and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) in 1982. The Society promoted the globalization of Korean life sciences by inviting the 5th FAOB Congress to Seoul in 1989 and successfully hosted the IUBMB Seoul Conference with the theme of Molecular & Cellular Networks in 1999 as well as the FAOBMB Conference in Seoul in 2007. The 24th IUBMB & The 15th FAOBMB Congress was held in Seoul to provide opportunities for research-related exchanges between biochemistry and molecular biologists around the world and domestic researchers, contributing to the development of global biochemistry and molecular biology.


In addition, since 2005, the Society has held life science forums for the public to transmit life science information to the public. It has participated in the science and technology EXPO since 2002 to assist the career development of students in science and engineering. The Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology continues to work to raise public awareness of the life sciences.


Welcome Remark

Dear Esteemed Members of KSBMB,

Greetings, this is Young-Joon Kim, the newly appointed president of KSBMB. I am greatly honored to start 2023 together with KSBMB after the unprecedented difficult times. Last year, we overcame COVID and hosted academic events successfully thanks to our former president's and committee members' efforts. As a result, KSBMB has grown into an institute representing the national bioscience community. Moreover, after the successful hosting of several international congresses, KSBMB is recognized as a global leader and significant collaboration partner in the Asian bioscience area. Additionally, our journals have shown academic excellence in which our EMM became one of the top journals in molecular biomedicine for the first time in Korean science journal history. The BMB report also surpassed the impact factor of 5. To extend the KSBMB’s excellence, we will pursue the businesses below as the critical agenda in 2023.

First, we will focus on society’s fundamentals, supporting the members’ academic success and participation. We will strengthen our support in educational presentations and interactions. Secondly, we will provide diverse academic programs for introducing new and advanced technology and increase the public’s interest in bioscience. Thirdly, we will create a place of exchange that will increase interaction between academia and industry to grow together by strengthening the Industry-University committee. Fourthly, we will open channels for our members to familiarize the directions of government policy and encourage our members’ opinions to be represented in these policies. Lastly, we will increase support in our journals to give our members’ work be recognized without unnecessary difficulties.

For these five core businesses to succeed, I, the committee members, and the organizational office promise to work for KSBMB with our hearts and request the KSBMB member’s attention and help. As we have come through the dark era with COVID, which we have never experienced, we would also overcome our forecasting days of economic decline. We are grateful for all those who support and love KSBMB and hope for the best to enjoy the new start.

Thank you.

Young-Joon Kim
President of the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 2023

Dear Esteemed Members of KSBMB,

2021 was a year that started with the anticipation of the end of COVID-19, but now that it ends with COVID-19 are you all at peace? I would like to express my gratitude to the society-related companies and organizations who provided timely help and support to society.

Despite the difficult circumstances of the 4th COVID-19 wave, in 2021, with the dedication of all the executives led by the Chairman and the Steering Committee, and cooperation of all the members, the offline-focused International Conference was successfully completed.

The 2022 International Conference on KSBMB will be held from May 23 (Mon) to 26 (Thu) at BEXCO in Haeundae, Busan. The main theme of the conference will be “Over the Pandemic: Academy, Technology & Industry”. The COVID-19 situation could enter a pandemic period as the quarantine system is changed to one of phased recovery of daily life in Korea considering the worldwide increase in the number of COVID-19 patients. Keeping that in mind, we plan to conduct the conference offline to maximize its effect.

Our society is the largest in Korea with more than 17,000 members both in name and reality and has a history and tradition of more than 70 years. 11 years after the integration of the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the society continues to develop into a global one. In the case of two journals, EMM (IF: 8.718), which has been making remarkable progress since joining the NPG, and BMB Reports (IF: 4.778) in short communication format, the citation index increases every year and will be particularly noteworthy in 2022.

As I said in the statement of candidacy, the demand for translational research in the field of life sciences is increasing significantly in recent years along with diversity. We will lay the foundation for the development of the field of biochemical and molecular biology with the help of various experts by utilizing the purpose of integrating society. In addition to various academic activities, fostering next-generation leaders, and popularizing science and culture, we will strive to build a system that can suggest policy alternatives to the government by reflecting on expert opinions, centering on the newly established policy committee.

Under the rapidly changing pandemic environment, we will do our best to become a society that develops steadily while making the living of the society more substantial. To that end, we ask for support from all members of society.

Thank you.
