American Physiological Association

The American Physiological Society (APS) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the science of physiology, which is the study of how living organisms, including humans, function. It brings together researchers, educators, and students to share knowledge, promote education, and support scientific discovery about how the body and its systems work—from tiny cells to whole organisms. The APS also publishes scientific journals, hosts conferences, and advocates for the importance of physiological research in improving health and understanding life processes.
