The society was originally founded in 1948 under the name the Korean Biochemical Society. In 1995, the name changed to the Korean Society of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2010, it merged with the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (founded in 1967) and from then have used the name the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.[4]
The society publishesExperimental & Molecular Medicine (EMM) andBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Reports (BMB Reports) annually,[5]Webzine monthly, andKSBMB NEWS four times a year.Experimental and Molecular Medicine has been published under theNature Publishing Group since 2013.
The KSBMB gives out theDonghun Award,[6][7] Moosa Award,[8] Sasuk Award,[9] DI Award,[10] Chungsan Award, Macrogen Woman Scientist Award, BMB Reports Award & EMM Award, Dongcheon Young Scientist Award,[11] Takara Award,[12] and Young Scientist Award & New Drug Research Award.[13]
