title: The history of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
abstract: The Australian Biochemical Society was established in 1955 and has played a crucial role in nurturing science in Australia. In 1990, the Society underwent a name change to become the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). Today, the majority of ASBMB's members (1,000) work in universities and research institutes, although many also come from industry, hospitals, and government agencies. The Society is also strongly supported by its Sustaining Members, which are science-related companies and other commercial entities.
