Nobel laureates will give lectures
at the 38th Congress of European Biochemical Societies in St. Petersburg

IA REGNUMOn the evening of July 6, the 38th Congress of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBO) opened in St. Petersburg.

As the organizers – representatives of the Russian Biochemical Society – told IA REGNUM, the congress is dedicated to "Biological Mechanisms". The list of sessions includes the following sections: immunology, RNA, carbohydrate biochemistry, stem cell biology, proteolysis mechanisms, bacteriology, bioinformatics and biochemical research methods. In total, the program consists of 37 symposia.

It is planned that ten Nobel Prize laureates will make plenary presentations at the 38th FEBO Congress in St. Petersburg: Aaron Ciechanover, Jules Hoffmann, Robert Huber, Roger Kornberg, Jean-Marie Lehn, Richard Richard Roberts, Jack Szostak, John Walker, Kurt Wuthrich, and Ada Yonath.

The opening session of the Congress was attended by the Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich, Chairman of the State Duma Committee of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on Science and High-tech Technologies Valery Chereshnev, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Fortov. The Governor of St. Petersburg, in particular, spoke about the development of a pharmaceutical cluster in the city.

Recall that developed countries are fighting for the right to hold events like the FEBO Congress.

It should also be recalled that it was in St. Petersburg that Nobel laureates Ivan Pavlov, Ilya Mechnikov, Nikolai Semenov and Peter Kapitsa lived and worked. The creator of the periodic system of chemical elements Dmitry Mendeleev was a professor at St. Petersburg University.
