NEWS 08/09/2009 (updated October 2009) ISMCBBPR is delighted to know that there are a lot of visitors from different countries who have visited the ISMCBBPR's various web pages. Before leaving this news page, we would like to invite you to voluntarily participate in the Molecule of the Year competition. The procedure for nominating a molecule of the year is rather straightforward. Firstly, you must be a professional molecular and cell biologist or a biotechnologist. Secondly, you must be a professional member of ISMCBBPR or of a chapter or society that is registered with the International Federation of Cell Biology (IFCB) or you are a designated official Voter for the Molecule of the Year. If you are not yet a member of ISMCBBPR nor any IFCB recognized organization, please see the Membership page. Thirdly, send a brief synopsis as to what molecule of recent relevance you nominate, as well as a short statement of justification to ISMCBBPR's e-mail addresses. For this justification, comment on what impact to scientific progress, human health or betterment of society this molecule is likely to have, as well as what paper or research group is primarily responsible for bringing this molecule to public attention within the last year. This molecule will then be voted upon by eligible members, along with other molecules nominated until a final decision is reached. Please don't delay. Do it now, as these molecules will be voted on during December. We are always happy to welcome and accommodate you! Prof. Isidro T. Savillo, President, ISMCBBPR
