Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the website of the “FEBS3+ Meeting: XXVIIIth BIOCHEMISTRY CONGRESS of the Czech and Slovak Societies for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and with participation of Polish and German Biochemical Societies” with the motto “Unlocking of the Secrets of Life”, taking place in Prague at the National Technical Library from 7 to 10 September 2025 on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the original Czechoslovak Biochemical Society. We maintain very close ties with our Slovak colleagues and continue to organize joint congresses, starting in 2021 as international meetings of biochemists and molecular biologists within the FEBS3+ Meeting program.

The thematic focus of the congress is on structural-functional relationships in effector, signaling and regulatory pathways, on biological membranes and cell organelles, traditional topics of energy and substance metabolism with an emphasis on modern knowledge in the field of enzyme catalysis, including its importance for xenobiotic metabolism. Special attention will be paid to novelties in the field of nucleic acids and their components, gene expression, but also epigenetics. We aim at modern approaches in contemporary structural biology in connection with advanced “omics” technologies, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, as well as “single cell” approaches with advanced high-resolution imaging methods and “high throughput” technologies in contemporary research practice in biochemistry and molecular biology. Molecular mechanisms of diseases and also news about viruses, microbes and parasites are not missing among presented and discussed topics.

After nearly a decade, we have again chosen the pleasant environment of the National Library of Technology in Prague for the congress with the necessary conference facilities, in the vicinity of Prague Castle and other sights and charming places in Prague. With the congress, we would like to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the original Czechoslovak Biochemical Society, recall its origins and discuss the current challenges of contemporary research in molecular life sciences.

On behalf of the congress organizers, I would like to cordially invite you to participate in the “FEBS3+ Meeting: XXVIIIth BIOCHEMISTRY CONGRESS” from September 7th to 10th, 2025. We look forward to seeing you there.

Libor Grubhoffer
