Welcome to the Society for Experimental Biology website!
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.
The Society for Experimental Biology aims to promote, and increase the influence of, Experimental Biology within the scientific community and Society by:
- developing the field of, and scientific careers in, experimental biology;
- developing education and public awareness in experimental biology;
- developing collaborative partnerships;
- maintaining transparency, ethical and environmental sensitivity in every sphere of activity;
- ensuring the financial viability of the Society.
In pursuit of its aims the Society for Experimental Biology’s activities include:
- the organisation and sponsorship of experimental biology conferences, both independently and in collaboration with other life science societies;
- the publication and dissemination of a range of scientific literature;
- education, careers and policy work;
- the administration of travel grants for young researchers;
- offering membership to experimental biology researchers in academia and industry working at post-graduate level and above.
