The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is a professional organization that brings together scientists who study cells, the fundamental building blocks of all living organisms. Founded in 1960, the ASCB promotes scientific research, education, and communication in cell biology. Its members include researchers, educators, and students dedicated to understanding how cells function and contribute to health, development, and disease. The society provides resources, publishes scientific journals, and hosts conferences to advance knowledge and collaboration within the field, ultimately aiming to improve human health and our understanding of life processes.
