Invitation to Attend

It is my pleasure to invite you to the 2027 AMGDB Annual Meeting, a conference dedicated to academic leaders in biochemistry.  We welcome conference participation by department chairs of biochemistry units within undergraduate institutions, schools of medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and public health. Emeritus chairs are also welcome. The meeting will take place on January 9-13, 2027, in Fajarda, Puerto Rico at the El Conquistador hotel.  

The AMGDB annual meeting is a premier conference for Biochemistry Chairs focused on advancing cutting-edge science, education, and professional development. This years' meeting will include diverse speakers and discussion leaders prioritizing time for discussions. The AMGDB New Chair on-boarding session will focus on topics such as finances and budgeting, promotion and tenure, faculty development, and HR-related items (recruitment, retention, and annual reviews).  

If you have attended an AMGDB meeting previously, you already know the value of talking with your peers and sharing strategies for leadership. The conversations with colleagues at the beach are as important as the programming in the conference room, and you will have plenty of time in both settings. If you have never attended, you are overdue for this important networking and career development opportunity, and we are ready to welcome you.
