The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is a professional organization focused on advancing the understanding of cell biology—the study of cells, their structures, functions, and processes. Founded in 1960, ASCB provides a platform for scientists to share research, collaborate, and educate others about the vital role cells play in living organisms. The society organizes meetings, publishes scientific journals, and promotes science education, striving to foster innovation and support scientists at all career stages. Through its efforts, ASCB enhances public appreciation for cell biology's importance in health, medicine, and various scientific fields.
