Call for new Theme Panel Members

The Society’s seven Theme Panels were formed at the start of 2003 and it was agreed that, for the first time round, one-third of members would retire after three years (in 2006) to provide turnover. The pattern will then be that in the following year, half of the remaining two-thirds retire and the final third retire in the fifth year. All seven Theme Panel Chairs would like to invite members and non-members to put themselves forward for membership of a Panel, as listed below:

Theme Panel I	Genes	Chair: Dr Stefan G E Roberts
Theme Panel II	Molecular Structure and Function	Chair: Professor Gordon Roberts
Theme Panel III	Bioenergetics and Metabolism	Chair: Dr Michael R Jones
Theme Panel IV	Cell Biology	Chair: Dr Harry Mellor
Theme Panel V	Signal Transduction	Chair: Professor Melanie J Welham
Theme Panel VI	Biotechnology and Bioinformatics	Chair: Dr Darcey Black
Theme Panel VII	Development and Disease	Chair: Dr Heather M Wallace

Each Panel consists of about fifteen members and aims to cover the broadest and most important areas of research for its topic. The Theme Panels meet three times a year, including meeting at BioScience, and secretariat support is normally available from the Society’s meetings team. For more detailed information go to http://www.biochemistry.org/themes/scicover.htm. The key role of Theme Panels is to generate Focused Meeting topics/programmes and to referee proposals submitted from outside the Panels. Recommendations are made from the Panels to the Meetings Board and the Board’s role is to approve colloquium proposals generated and to allocate them to the meetings programme. Liaison with other societies is encouraged through election, appointment or co-option of appropriate individuals having membership of the Biochemical Society as well as membership of the sister society with whom the link is to be established.

If you would like to put yourself or a colleague forward for membership of one of the above Theme Panels, please either:
