Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, abbreviated FASEB, is a non-profit organization that is the principal umbrella organization of U.S. societies in the field of biological and medical research. FASEB organizes academic conferences and publishes scientific literature. It notably:
- Represents over 120,000 researchers
- Advocates for scientific funding and policy issues related to the life sciences
- Organizes scientific meetings (FASEB Calendar)
- Manages Science Research Conferences
- Publishes The FASEB Journal
- Provides Association Management Services
FASEB was founded in 1912 by three societies. In 1989, its then six constituent societies agreed to broaden the scope of the federation and has since grown to currently 26 individual member organizations:[1]
- The American Physiological Society[2]
- American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
- American Society for Investigative Pathology
- American Society for Nutrition
- The American Association of Immunologists
- American Association of Anatomists
- The Protein Society
- Society for Developmental Biology
- American Peptide Society
- Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities
- The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research
- American Society for Clinical Investigation
- Society for the Study of Reproduction
- Teratology Society
- The Endocrine Society
- The American Society of Human Genetics
- International Society for Computational Biology
- American College of Sports Medicine
- Biomedical Engineering Society
- Genetics Society of America
- American Federation for Medical Research
- The Histochemical Society
- Society for Pediatric Research
- Society for Glycobiology
- Association for Molecular Pathology
Its mission statement is "to advance biological science through collaborative advocacy for research policies that promote scientific progress and education and lead to improvements in human health".[1]
