The Biochemical Society promotes the advancement of the Molecular Biosciences, representing the interests of all those working in the sector. The Society recognises that the discipline of 'Biochemistry' now encompasses the entire breadth of Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences and this is reflected in our range of activities.
The Biochemical Society engages with science policy by responding to consultations, producing position statements, organising events, twittering and addressing key issues such as those facing women in science.
We support a diverse range of events and resources: from school science websites, teachers' workshops, outreach events, studentship grants, school visits, careers information to young researchers' symposia.
