Gegründet 1975 unter dem Namen "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zellbiologie e.V.". Die Zahl ihrer Mitglieder beträgt heute 1100. Das zentrale Anliegen der Zellbiologie ist die Erforschung der Lebensvorgänge und deren molekulare Regulation in der Zelle. Sowohl methodisch als auch in den experimentellen Modellen ist die Zellbiologie mehr und mehr zu einer integrativen Wissenschaft geworden. Es gibt vielfältige Überschneidungen mit Fragestellungen der Biochemie, Biophysik, Entwicklungsbiologie, Genetik, Immunologie, Mikrobiologie, Parasitologie und der medizinischen Grundlagenforschung. Auf diese Weise wurde ein umfangreiches Fachwissen von Experten vieler Fachgebiete in der Gesellschaft zusammengeführt. Die von den Zellbiologen erarbeiteten Grundlagen wirken zunehmend auf die biomedizinische Forschung ein und führten in einzelnen Fällen bereits zu einem besseren Verständnis von Krankheiten auf molekularer Ebene. Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zellbiologie veranstaltet eine Jahrestagung, die jedes Jahr im März in einer anderen Stadt abgehalten wird. 3mal jährlich erhält jedes Mitglied die "DGZ-Mitteilung". Die DGZ verleiht verschiedene Preise für Doktor- und Forschungsarbeiten. [vdbiol] ... [Sonstige Quelle laut Angabe]
The IFCB has its historical roots in the early 1930's. It was formally established in St. Louis in 1972 to coordinate and support Cell Biology activities throughout the world, as well as representing cell biology in the International Union of Biological Sciences. The affiliation makes the IFCB a constituent of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), and puts our congresses officially under the aegis of the latter. This is of particular importance to colleagues in some countries who may become eligible for grants to attend international congresses sponsored by the ISCU. The IFCB is also represented in the International Cell Research Organization (ICRO) which functions in UNESCO. The IFCB continues to fulfill its functions with a minimum of organization and at a low overhead cost. The organization of each international congress is delegated to a sponsoring member society which takes full responsibility as host for the congress. The IFCB normally provides a block grant to the congress organizers to help young cell biologists mainly from developing countries to attend the meetings. These funds are allocated by the appropriate committee of the congress (which includes an appropriate IFCB official or nominee) and is based on an assessment of the scientific quality of the abstracts submitted. Grants usually cover only part of the travel costs or subsistence. ... [Information of the supplier]
The International Biometric Society is an international society promoting the development and application of statistical and mathematical theory and methods in the biosciences, including agriculture, biomedical science and public health, ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, and allied disciplines. The Society welcomes as members statisticians, mathematicians, biological scientists, and others devoted to interdisciplinary efforts in advancing the collection and interpretation of information in the biosciences. The Society publishes two journals, Biometrics, reporting communications consistent with the Society’s mission, and, jointly with the American Statistical Association, the Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics. The Society is organized into geographically-defined Regions, each with at least 10 members. The Society is governed by an Executive Committee of General Officers and a legislative Council representing the international diversity of the membership. Regions elect their own officers and governing boards. ... [Information of the supplier]
Experimental Biology is the study of the form and function of animals and plants at all levels of organisation from the molecular and cellular to the whole organism. The ethos of Experimental Biology is one of interdisciplinary studies usually conducted within the context of the environment and evolution of the organism. The Society for Experimental Biology believes that the broad nature and lack of “ology” boundaries implicit in Experimental Biology give it a pivotal role in the development of Life Sciences which are of considerable benefit to its members and to society. In particular, Experimental Biology contributes to knowledge that can be applied to the development of agriculture and medicine and to understanding the impacts of human activity on living organisms and ecosystems. ...

BiNHum is a joint project of five natural history museums and research collections representing the Humboldt-Ring. These are the State Museums of Natural History Karlsruhe (SMNK) and Stuttgart (SMNS), the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn (ZFMK), the Bavarian Natural History Collections in Munich (SNSB), and the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem (BGBM).The three-year project (2012–2015) will enforce collaboration and consolidate collection data of the Humboldt-Ring institutes and their associates by development of a joint data portal and efforts in data mining, standardisation, new data types as 3D images e.g., or data digitized by the sub-project MORPHYLL at the SMNS (DFG support code RO 3250/21, acquisition of ecophysiologically relevant morphometric data of fossil leaves), and data porting to current IT standards. Additionally, the portal will provide all accessible data to international projects as GBIF. ... [Information of the supplier]
