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 members of the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,

It is my great honor to serve as the President of KSBMB for the year 2024.

Since its founding in 1948, the KSBMB has been steadily growing in various academic and social roles over the past 76 years, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our past presidents, steering committee members, 19,000 members, and various partners. In fact, we have been building strong international partnerships through the election of the FAOBMB president, hosting the FAOBMB conference in 2025, successfully hosting the IUBMB congress in 2018, and holding joint symposia with global members. In particular, our journal, EMM, has become one of the top journals in the field of molecular medicine worldwide, and BMB Reports has become an exemplary professional journal. Indeed, I believe that the verse from the Song of Songs, "A tree with deep roots is not shaken by the wind, and its blossoms are good and its fruits are many~" sums up our Society's deep and accumulated experience and member-centered operation. In order to achieve the continuous growth of the Society together with the members who love the Society, I would like to promote the main projects of the Society in 2024 with the following in mind.

1. A Society that Participates Together

We will do our best to ensure that the Society continues to grow as a leading and exemplary life science professional organization both domestically and internationally. To this end, we will organize a variety of academic events and educational training courses for our members and our partners to participate in, including a balanced and up-to-date selection of topics, inviting outstanding international speakers, and presenting and exchanging the research results of our members. In addition, we will expand our international cooperation with members in the ASEAN and Oceania regions to ensure the successful hosting of the FAOBMB Congress in 2025, and establish efficient support and promotion measures for the continued growth of our proud journals, EMM and BMB Reports.

2. Member-centered Society Management

We will build a 'One Team for KSBMB' that utilizes the characteristics and strengths of our members' generations, genders, regions, and institutions and combines the passion and challenging spirit of our members. To this end, we have already announced the composition of the 2024 steering committee to regular members so that many members can actually participate in the management of the 2024 year society. We will also continue to promote and reward members for their academic and social service achievements to inspire their pride.

3. A Society of Values

We will continue to fulfill the social role of the Society by providing an online academic exchange system based on the expertise of our members and supplementing online educational contents such as the mobile biochemistry encyclopedia. In addition, we will cooperate with relevant government agencies, major affiliated societies, and the Society's partners to establish and support science and technology policies that reflect the major research needs of our members and society, and efficiently share the information generated through these policies with our members and partners.

In order to successfully carry out the above projects, I, the steering committee members, and the secretariat pledge to sincerely carry out the activities and services of the society so that the society can continue to grow in the spirit of 'One Team for KSBMB' and look forward to the continued interest and support of members and industry-academia partners.

Thank you.

President of the Biochemical and Molecular Biology Society 2024

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.
