91影库journal events at #DiscoverBMB
The 91影库 and Molecular Biology’s three journals — the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the Journal of Lipid Research and Molecular & Cellular Proteomics — are a big part of the society, so naturally they will be center stage at Discover BMB 2024, the ASBMB’s annual meeting, March 23-26, in San Antonio. Here are short summaries of the activities the journals’ editors have planned.
Plenary session: Metabolism and disease

Chair: Alex Toker, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical Schooly
The mechanisms of metabolism feature prominently in health and disease. of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center will give a lecture during this plenary session examining emerging trends and insights into the metabolic pathways that make or break a cell’s success. Finley's lab researches how changes in metabolite availability shape the chromatin landscape to influence gene expression programs that control cell survival, growth and differentiation.
Journal of Biological Chemistry symposium

Chair: Philip A. Cole, Harvard University
Since 1905, the JBC has stood as a leading outlet for scientists across disciplines to share mechanistic insights on the molecular and cellular basis of biological processes. Join JBC editors for a special symposium featuring the hottest topics at the forefront of the field today at this symposium chaired by JBC Associate Editor Phil Cole of Harvard University.
