Membership
Why become a member?
Networks
The GBM offers a network consisting of about 5000 biochemically and molecular biologically interested scientists, physicians and students in Germany and abroad.
Study Groups
The study groups are the core of the scientific networks. Each member can thus easily link with colleagues in their own subject, inform themselves and attend events.
Member Journal
Members receive the member magazine "BIOspektrum" including online access.
Conference Fees
At GBM and VAAM conferences, members receive a discount on conference fees.
FEBS
The GBM is a member of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS). Members can apply in particular for FEBS Fellowships and other FEBS research support.
Umbrella Organisations
The GBM is also a member of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF).
Research & Education
The GBM represents the interests of its members with regard to the general conditions in research and education vis-à-vis politics and prepares statements on current topics.
Young Scientists
The GBM promotes young scientists by awarding scientific prizes, travel grants, networking (Junior-GBM, Young Investigators).
Is it worthwhile for students and young scientists to join a professional society?
