Les groupes thématiques de la SFBBM

Des espaces d’échange et de collaboration entre chercheurs, pour faire avancer la recherche en biochimie et biologie moléculaire.

GT Synthetic Biology

Design and construct new or redesigned biological systems (or components).

GT Archaea

Bringing together biochemists and molecular biologists interested in the study of archaea, a distinct domain of life, with unique adaptive and evolutionary properties.

GT Education

Building a community of teachers and researchers committed to advancing teaching practices in biochemistry (lessons learned, tool sharing, improved learning, …).

GT Cellular proteolysis

Study protein degradation in cells, whether for renewal, signaling, or the removal of damaged proteins.

GT Enzymes

Exploring all aspects of enzymes, from the most fundamental (structure, mechanism, regulation) to the most applied (engineering, biocatalysis, enzymopathies).

Les derniers lauréats

Chaque année, la SFBBM distingue des chercheuses et chercheurs pour l’excellence de leurs travaux en biochimie et biologie moléculaire.
