Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen
I am happy to invite you to XXVIIth Biochemistry congress, which will take place on September 10th-13th, 2023 in the amazing environment of the High Tatras in Slovakia. The congress bears the motto: "50 years of recombinant DNA - Past, Present, Future" to commemorate the anniversary of the creation of the First Recombinant DNA. This newly born technology has become one the basic approach in various research areas such as healthcare, agriculture, industry, energy. The advent of recombinant DNA technology revolutionized the development and research of life sciences and led to a series of dramatic changes. A lot has happened since its discovery and it offered us new opportunities for innovation and was able to prepare many new molecules with the therapeutic effect of DNA.
The congress as a FEBS3+ meeting is organized by the Slovak Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in close cooperation with the Czech Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and with the organizational participation of the Ukrainian Biochemical Society and the Hungarian Biochemical Society. Excellent scientists from Europe are invited, the scientific sections of the congress will be held in English and their thematic structure reflects the latest trends in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology research.
Congress participants will be welcomed at the Grand Hotel Bellevue in the heart of the High Tatras in Horny Smokovec. Nature of High Tatras offers unusually clean air, mountain climate, wonderful fauna and flora. You will find glacial ponds, many beautiful hiking trails, many beautiful waterfalls, or the Belianska cave, the only accessible cave in the High Tatras. Thanks to this, the High Tatras received the prestigious award as the most important European destination of 2019, which they received from Lonely Planet.
I believe that this event will be a place for lively scientific debates, confirmation of existing research collaborations and establishment of new scientific contacts in the pleasant environment of beautiful Slovak nature. The goal is also to offer young scientists important information about FEBS, IUBMB, EMBL and can help them develop their future scientific careers.
I hope that your professional expectations will be fulfilled and you will attend many interesting lectures and meetings which will bring inspirations for your future research.

President of SSBMB
Registration for the Congress will open in April 2023.
