Formed in 1955 as the International Union of Biochemistry, the union has presently 77 member countries (2008. IUBMB organises a triennial Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and sponsors more frequent conferences, symposia, educational activities and lectures. It publishes standards on biochemical nomenclature, including [[enzyme]] nomenclature, in some cases jointly with the [[International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry]] (IUPAC). It is associated with the journals ''Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education'' (formerly ''Biochemical Education''), ''[[BioEssays]]'', ''BioFactors'', ''[[Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry]]'', ''IUBMB Life'', ''Molecular Aspects of Medicine'' and ''[[Trends (journals)|Trends in Biochemical Sciences]]''. The current president is [[Angelo Azzi]] . Past presidents include George Kenyon, [[Brian F.C. Clark]], Mary Osborn, [[William J. Whelan]], [[K.
