Description
PROBio-LatAm is a joint fellowship programme of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), and the Pan-American Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (PABMB). It supports research visits to established scientists in FEBS countries—countries in Europe and neighbouring regions with a FEBS Constituent Society.
The programme enables Latin American PhD students to undertake thesis research and postdoctoral fellows and new researchers to conduct specialised experiments, develop scientific collaborations, or receive advanced training. Access to technologies, expertise, and well-equipped laboratories is intended to strengthen researchers’ skills and build molecular life sciences capacity at their home institutions. Preference is given to projects establishing new collaborations.
