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.

Description

FASEB's mission statement is "to advance health and well-being by promoting research and education in biological and biomedical sciences through collaborative advocacy and service to our societies and their members."[1]

Key features:

  • Represents over 130,000 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

Members

Founded in 1912, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) was originally created by three independent scientific organizations to provide a forum in which to hold educational meetings, develop publications, and disseminate biological research results. What started as a small group of dedicated scientists has grown to be the nation's largest coalition of biomedical researchers, representing 30 scientific societies and over 130,000 researchers from around the world. FASEB is now recognized as the policy voice of biological and biomedical researchers.:[1]
