We are delighted to invite you to the NVBMB Fall Meeting 2023: Unleashing nucleic acid therapeutics’ full potential

When: Wednesday November 22
Where: Ceres Building TU/e Campus, Eindhoven

Registration is free of charge, but mandatory. As the number of places available is limited, it is recommended to register as soon as possible

The meeting will feature exciting contributions from academic and industrial scientists focusing on regulating gene expression and developing nucleic acid therapeutics. The program will be concluded by a talk from Roy van der Meel, 2023 NVBMB prize winner.

During the meeting, The H.G.K. Westenbrink Prize 2021 - 2022 will be handed out to  Dr. Rebecca Halbach for her thesis entitled "Beyond transposon control: piRNAs in gene regulation and embryonic development".

Every year the Netherlands Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NVBMB) awards a young independent scientist working in the Netherlands in the area of biochemistry and molecular biology a prize in recognition of their achievements and to promote their career.

The NVBMB-prize amounts to € 2000. Many past awardees have reached an established position, see our website for an overview.

Nominations for the NVBMB prize 2024 should be sent to secretary of the NVBMB before December 31^st 2023.

Please find the instructions for nomination on our web site.

The deadline for nominations for the  H.G.K. Westenbrink award has been extended.
