About us
Who we are
Founded in 1911, we’ve been at the forefront of advancing molecular bioscience for over 100 years, promoting its importance as a discipline, facilitating the sharing of knowledge and expertise, and supporting molecular bioscientists across all career stages.
Embedding the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion across the core objectives of our strategy, we achieve our mission by:
- Promoting and sharing knowledge
- Supporting career development and lifelong engagement
- Bringing together molecular bioscientists and encouraging wider dialogue
- Developing and transforming our working practices and business model
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
The Biochemical Society is committed to placing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) considerations at the heart of all our activities.
We continue to embed strong EDI principles as we move forward through our next strategic period, supporting a more accessible community with diverse identities at all levels.
Our approach is guided by the Society's Manifesto for Change, which was launched in 2021. This set out our commitments to creating awareness, taking action and holding ourselves accountable in this space. EDI activities are driven by the Society's EDI Advisory Panel, which feeds into all strategic and operational discussions across our organisation.
