BMB 2025 Kicks Off Grandly, Delivering World-Class Knowledge in Medicine and Molecular Biology Across Various Dimensions

BMB 2025 International Conference Opening Ceremony Begins Elegantly

Rajamangala Grand Ballroom, Bangkok – May 14, 2025

The 9th International Conference on Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, BMB 2025, officially kicked off under the theme “BMB 360°: Emerging Trends in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Research.” The opening ceremony was filled with a warm and dignified atmosphere, setting the stage for a conference that highlights cutting-edge advancements in the field.

During the opening ceremony, Prof. Dr. Sunchai Payungporn, as the event chair, and Prof. Dr. Supaart Sirikantaramas, Chair of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Section of the Science Society of Thailand, Royal Patronage, delivered the opening remarks. They shared their clear vision for advancing global research in the field.

The conference was also honored by Prof. Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, who delivered a speech supporting international academic collaboration. He emphasized the crucial role of biological sciences in addressing critical global challenges faced by humanity.

Keynote Lectures from World-Renowned Researchers

The first day of the conference began with two keynote lectures from leading international researchers:

• Prof. Miguel A. Esteban from Spatiotemporal Campus, BGI Shenzhen, China, delivered a lecture titled “The Multidirectionality of Life_2,” which explored cell reprogramming for precision medicine.

• Prof. Meng How Tan from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, presented on “Reading, Writing, and Interpreting A-to-I RNA Editing,” offering new insights into RNA editing mechanisms and their relationship with human pathophysiology.

Parallel Sessions in Four Key Areas

In the afternoon, the conference featured parallel sessions in four main areas, moderated by prominent international researchers:

1. Molecular Biology IModerated by Prof. Stephen Dalton (CUHK, Hong Kong) and Dr. Chanchai Boonla (Chulalongkorn University)

2. Human Diseases IModerated by Dr. Jiranuwat Sapudom (NYU Abu Dhabi) and Dr. Chanitra Thuwajit (Mahidol University)

3. OmicsModerated by Prof. Sarah Slavoff (Yale University, USA) and Dr. Pattana Jaroenlak (Chulalongkorn University)

4. Systems BiologyModerated by Prof. Meng How Tan and Dr. Chanat Aonbangkaen (Chulalongkorn University)

Each session featured cutting-edge research topics, such as disease diagnostics using CRISPR technology, cancer studies through omics data, and the connection between microbiomes and holistic health.

The first day concluded creatively and successfully.

In the evening, a Poster Session and Networking Activity took place, bringing together both young and experienced researchers. This session created an atmosphere of knowledge exchange, creative ideas, and sparked future research collaborations.
