VI INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON Molecular

BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

November, 4^th-8^th, 2024   Convention Center of Havana, Cuba. 

The Cuban Section of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SCBBM) jointly with the Cuban Society of Chemistry (SCQ)are pleased to announce its VI International Symposium on Biochemistry and Molecular Biology within the XI CONGRESS OF CHEMISTRY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (QUIMICUBA'2024) to be held from the November , 4^th-8^th, 2024 in the Convention Center of Havana, Cuba.  

Like in previous occasions, these events will represent a special opportunity to communicate current research progress in the field, identify new approaches and research opportunities, and exchange the most recent scientific results and teaching advances in all fields of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in a friendly atmosphere. The Organizing Committee will ensure a high level Scientific Program. The scientific program includes plenary lectures, oral presentations, round tables and posters exhibition. Additionally, all participants will have the opportunity to learn about the culture, history and social life in our city, in a tropical-warm climate of hospitality, which will make your stay a fruitful, pleasant and unforgettable experience.
