IUBMB Selects Wiley to Publish Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 
Education

Hoboken, N.J., October 17, 2006 - Global publisher John Wiley & 
Sons, Inc., today announced that it has been selected by the 
International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) 
to publish Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 
effective January 2007. Wiley will publish the journal in print 
and online via Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com), 
the company's online publishing platform.

Now in its 33rd year of publication, Biochemistry and Molecular 
Biology Education is a leading publication aimed at promoting 
quality biochemistry and molecular biology education, as well as 
education in related fields such as biophysics and cell biology, 
throughout the world.

"We look forward to working with the IUBMB to facilitate the 
communication of both content and pedagogy which is of crucial 
importance to educating the scientists of tomorrow," said Colette 
Bean, Associate Publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. "This is a 
wonderful partnership opportunity for Wiley to build on its 
strength as a recognized and respected publisher of textbooks, 
reference works and journals that foster the education and 
expansion of knowledge in biochemistry, molecular biology and 
science education research."

Each issue covers important topics in the field such as 
innovative teaching/learning techniques and practices; methods of 
assessing the effectiveness of new educational approaches; 
reviews of key areas of biochemical knowledge; research in 
biochemistry and molecular biology education; descriptions of 
important web-based materials and software; and details of tried 
and tested laboratory experiments. The journal also features 
reviews of books and other teaching aids such as websites, 
videotapes, transparency and slide sets, and computer software.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education is led by 
Editors-in-Chief Dr. Donald Voet, Department of Chemistry, 
University of Pennsylvania; and Dr. Judith G. Voet, Department of 
Chemistry, Swarthmore College.

Wiley publishes two textbooks authored by the Voets: Biochemistry 
3/e and Fundamentals of Biochemistry 2/e, co-authored by 
Charlotte Pratt. The textbooks are leaders in the field of 
undergraduate/graduate biochemical education and they reflect the 
authors' keen attention to the latest developments in research 
and teaching.

"Wiley's Higher Education division has been our textbook 
publisher for over 16 years, and we have had only good 
experiences with their professionalism and concern for quality," 
said the Voets. "As Co-Editors-in-Chief of Biochemistry and 
Molecular Biology Education, we look forward to extending our 
relationship to include the company's Scientific, Technical, and 
Medical division and Wiley InterScience."

"It is with great enthusiasm that the IUBMB welcomes Wiley as the 
new publisher of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education," 
said Angelo Azzi, President-Elect, IUBMB. "In their professional 
hands, the journal will continue to develop as a valuable 
teaching instrument for biochemistry and molecular biology 
faculty and students in the United States and around the world."
