The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 10,000members. Most members teach and conduct research at colleges and universities.Others conduct research in various government laboratories, nonprofit researchinstitutions and industry.
The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF)
1201 Don Diego Avenue
Santa Fe, NM 87505
Tel: 505 983-8102
Fax: 505 989-1073
http://www.abrf.org/
The purposes of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities are to promote and facilitate communication and cooperation among core facilities and research laboratories, provide research mechanisms for evaluation and improvement of biotechnical capabilities of core facilities and promote the education of facility staff, users, administrators, and other members of the scientific community regarding resource facility functions. A unique feature of the ABRF is the research committees that conduct studies to assess the capabilities of core facilities and to provide materials to help member laboratories evaluate themselves.
Association of Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry
(AMGDB)
http://www.amgdb.org
The Association of Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry (AMGDB) is a nonprofit educational and scientific organization with more than 100 members. Membership is drawn from educational institutions which include medical and/or graduate departments of biochemistry that offer the Ph.D. degree. Each member of the Association is represented by the Chair or other administrative head of each member's Medical and/or Graduate Department (or division or section, as the case may be) of Biochemistry. Founded in 1969, the Association is based in Washington, DC. There is no paid staff, and the Association's affairs are managed by the Officers and the Board of Directors.
Biochemical Society/Portland Press
59 Portland Place
London
W1B 1QW
United Kingdom
Tel: 020 7580 5530
Fax: 020 7637 3626
http://www.biochemsoc.org.uk/default.htm
The aim of the Society is to promote the advancement of the science of Biochemistry. It will do so in the context of cellular and molecular life sciences as a seamless continuum. Opportunities will be provided for members to exchange opinions and discuss matters relating to research connected with cellular and molecular life sciences. The Society will hold appropriate scientific meetings and publish relevant scientific material, either on its own or with others. The Society will seek close co-operation with related societies to enhance its effectiveness in scientific and cost terms. It will work towards the establishment of an umbrella organization to cover learned society aspects of cellular and molecular life sciences. The Society will address the expected general trends in Biochemistry as a subject during the next decade and evaluate how the Biochemical Society is placed to respond. The Society will not distinguish between the public and private sectors in promoting cellular and molecular life sciences.
The Electrophoresis Society
3338 Carlyle Terrace
Lafayette, CA 94549
Tel: (+1) 925-284-7186
Fax: (+1) 925-283-5621
http://www.aesociety.org
The Electrophoresis Society is a unique international organization founded to improve and promote technologies necessary for biomolecular separation and detection. The techniques of electrophoresis are numerous and include isoelectric focusing, 2-D / IEF / SDS PAGE, capillary, free-flow, as well as classical gel systems.
The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB)
http://www.iubmb.unibe.ch/
The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology unites biochemists and molecular biologists in 66 countries that belong to the Union as an Adhering Body or Associate Adhering Body which is represented as a biochemical society, a national research council or an academy of sciences. The Union is devoted to promoting research and education in biochemistry and molecular biology throughout the world and gives particular attention to areas where the subject is still in its early development.
