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

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

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education is led by

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

forward to extending our relationship to include the
company’s Scientific, Technical, and Medical division and

Education,” said Angelo Azzi, President-Elect, IUBMB. “In
their professional hands, the journal will continue to
develop as a valuable teaching instrument for biochemistry
