Yannis Karamanos, male, biochemist, Ph.D. at the biochemistry department, Lille University in 1983. He worked for Biotechnology Institute, Limoges University 1987-1996. Professor in 1996 he created the Laboratory for Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry at Artois University 1996-2000, before to merge with the Blood-Brain Barrier Laboratory (BBB Lab), directed by Professor Roméo Cecchelli at Artois University in 2001. From 1980 to 2000 he worked on the structure-function relationships of glycoconjugates and his main project was the investigations on the biological roles of the de-N-glycosylation enzymes (Endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase). From 2002 he developed the proteome project of the BBB Lab. He has published more than 60 papers and participated at numerous international conferences. From 2013 he developed innovative teaching practices and adopted the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) concept.

The FEBS Junior Section is organised by students and young researchers from some FEBS Constituent Societies. They develop joint activities, such as online talks and other events, and share resources, as well as open doors for young European scientists to opportunities outside their home countries by providing the relevant contacts and fostering communication within the network.

The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology unites scientists in 75 countries or regions through a society, national council, or academy of sciences.

The junior section of the Czech Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ČSBMB Junior) is part of an extensive network of junior sections of national biochemical societies across Europe. The section aims to put together active young researchers and support the development of their personalities and their growing scientific careers. We meet this goal by organizing various scientific events, including workshops, webinars, lectures, or minor conferences. The vision of ČSBMB Junior is not only to provide connections and support but also to serve as a source of inspiration and motivation. Junior section members will get access to helpful information, manuals, and exercises that will help them with shaping their future careers in the field of research practice, as well as so-called soft skills. All the ČSBMB Junior members will further stay connected thanks to regular online and in-person meetings, therefore building a network of young biochemists and molecular biologists. 

Ex-academia, now in MedComms. I write a blog called Total Internal Reflection about the human side of science. Postings are generally either opinion/commentary (either serious or silly) or "How To" pieces aimed at improving young scientists' soft skills.  A longer biography and manifesto are on the blog here.

The FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference is a joint initiative of FEBS, IUBMB, and several leading European biomedical research institutes (the ENABLE partners), building on a successful project originally funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (2017–2020). These interdisciplinary, international, three-day events are organized by and for young researchers in the molecular life sciences and attract up to 300 participants from around the world. Each conference features a scientific symposium, a career day, and outreach activities. ENABLE (the European Academy for Biomedical Science) was launched in 2017 through the collaboration of four renowned European institutes: the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona, Spain), the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (NNF-CPR, Denmark), the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences at Radboudumc (Netherlands), and the European School of Molecular Medicine (SEMM, Italy). These core institutions hosted the first four conferences from 2017 to 2021. In 2022, FEBS and IUBMB joined forces with the ENABLE founders to relaunch the initiative as FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE, expanding its reach and impact. In this new cycle, institutions can apply to become associated centres and host one of the events.

I am training to become a physician scientist at Northwestern University. I am completing my PhD thesis work in the lab of Marc Mendillo, PhD. I am passionate about discovering the mechanistic basis of human diseases for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. I previously trained as a research technician under the mentorship of Romel Somwar, PhD in the lab of Marc Ladanyi, MD at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Notre Dame, I conducted research in the lab of Michael Ferdig, PhD.
