The American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) is a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to clinical laboratory science and its application to healthcare. Our leadership in education, advocacy and collaboration helps lab professionals adapt to change and do what they do best: provide vital insight and guidance so patients get the care they need.

Founded in 1876 and chartered by the U.S. Congress, we are the world’s largest scientific society with 150,000 members in 140 countries. Our mission is to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people. Our vision is to improve people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry.

The American Institute of Biological Sciences is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) scientific association dedicated to advancing biological research and education for the welfare of society. AIBS works to ensure that the public, legislators, funders, and the community of biologists have access to and use information that will guide them in making informed decisions about matters that require biological knowledge.

The Society's mission is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology and to promote the understanding of the molecular nature of life processes through: (1) publication of scientific and educational journals; (2) organization of scientific meetings; (3) advocacy for funding of basic research and education; (4) support of science education at all levels; (5) and promoting the diversity of individuals entering the scientific workforce. The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 12,000 members.

ASCB is an inclusive, international community of biologists studying the cell, the fundamental unit of life. We are dedicated to advancing scientific discovery, advocating sound research policies, improving education, promoting professional development, and increasing diversity in the scientific workforce.

The American Society for Microbiology is the largest single life science society, composed of over 50,000 scientists and health professionals. ASM's mission is to promote and advance the microbial sciences.

The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), founded in 1948, is the primary professional membership organization for human genetics specialists worldwide. The Society’s nearly 8,000 members include researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, genetic counselors, nurses and others who have a special interest in the field of human genetics. Our members work in a wide range of settings, including universities, hospitals, institutes, and medical and research laboratories.

The Biochemical Society promotes the future of molecular biosciences; facilitating the sharing of expertise, supporting the advancement of biochemistry and molecular biology, and raising awareness of their importance in addressing societal grand challenges.

The Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) is a national not-for-profit organization committed to advancing the chemical sciences and engineering through its three constituent societies : Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC) , Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (CSChE), Canadian Society for Chemical Technology (CSCT)

For more than 35 years, CCR has been a leader in the chemical sciences, encouraging collaboration among industry, academia, and government laboratories. Through meetings, workshops, white papers, and issues important to research and the chemical enterprise, CCR has provided members a network for establishing collaborations, sharing ideas, and identifying new research frontiers. Starting in 2016, CCR’s operations are under the auspices of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
