Biochemical Society
Founded in 1911, the Biochemical Society exists to advance molecular bioscience, promoting its importance as an academic discipline, from grassroots level to government policy, and highlighting its role in positively effecting societal challenges.
Offering an extensive programme of scientific meetings, training events and courses, educational resources and activities, policy and public engagement, the Society provides support for researchers and scientists, teachers, and members of the public.
As the UK’s largest single-discipline learned society, member benefits include access to grants and bursaries, reduced registration fees at Biochemical Society meetings and events, opportunities to get involved with policy and public engagement activities, as well as guidance and information for bioscientists across all career stages.
Become a member and you’ll also receive personal online access to one of our outstanding research journals, the Biochemical Journal, as well as the reviews journal of the Biochemical Society, Biochemical Society Transactions. There’s also The Biochemist, the magazine of the Biochemical Society, which is free to access for all.
