Rawalpindi: The ninth conference of Pakistan Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (PSBMB) at Pir Mehr Ali Shah-Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR) started here Wednesday with experts from across the country, says a press release.

The conference contains lectures, 23 technical sessions and a poster competition.

AAUR is organising the conference in collaboration with Pakistan Academy of Sciences, PSBMB and National Commission on Biotechnology. The theme of the conference is 'Advances in Biochemistry Processes and Molecular Biology'.

Speaking as chief guest at the inaugural session, Dr Anwer Naseem, chairman National Commission on Biotechnology and Advisor Comstech, said the conference is a unique opportunity for scientists to share their knowledge and experiences and come up with new techniques and methodologies to find out the solutions of outstanding issues in the field of science and technology.

He was of the view that without the involvement of young people, science could not flourish. "We have to motivate young scientists and it is their duty to take more interest in research for the promotion of science." He said the conference would not only give broad based exposure to teachers but also help scientists in their research endeavours.
