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]
Journals
The society publishes Experimental & Molecular Medicine (EMM) and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Reports (BMB Reports) annually,[5] Webzine monthly, and KSBMB NEWS four times a year. Experimental and Molecular Medicine has been published under the Nature Publishing Group since 2013.
