Parnas Conferences were established to commemorate the world-renowned Polish biochemist Jakub Karol Parnas. Prior to WWII, J.K. Parnas worked as a professor of physiological chemistry at the University in Lwów (now Lviv in the Ukraine). The Parnas laboratory was a unique place where young Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish scientists studied glucose metabolism in a cooperative atmosphere. The results of their work were of great importance, as reflected by the fact that for many years glycolysis was also known as the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway. The first Parnas Conference was organized in 1996 in Lviv by the Ukrainian and Polish Biochemistry Societies, and since then the Conference has been organized biennially, alternately in Poland and in Ukraine. In 2011, the VIII Parnas Conference took place in Warsaw, Poland, and for the first time was organized jointly by the Polish, Ukrainian and Israeli biochemical societies. The IX Parnas Conference will be hosted by the Israel Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ISBMB).
