The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) was founded in 1960 to
bring the varied facets of cell biology together. The Society's purpose
is to promote and develop the field of cell biology. Its objectives are
achieved through the scholarly dissemination of research at its Annual
Meeting and Summer Meetings in its publications. The ASCB strives to
ensure the future of basic scientific research by providing training
and development opportunities for students and young investigators, and
also by keeping Congress and the American public informed about the
importance of biomedical research. Since its founding, the ASCB has
grown to more than 11,000 members. Members are located throughout the
United States and in 50 other countries.

The International Society
for Laboratory Hematology (ISLH), non-profit organisation was founded in 1992
by an international group of laboratory professionals, headed by Dr Berend
Houwen and Dr Bruce Davis in order to chart new directions for laboratory
hematology.
ISLH had its origins back in 1984
where the first meeting on “Technical Innovations in Laboratory Hematology” was
held in Lake Louise, Alberta Canada.
The meeting was an outstanding success and heralded the arrival of a new forum
for dissemination of information from around the globe on laboratory
hematology. The meeting became a must attend event on the calendar for
hematology laboratorians culminating in the decision to form ISLH in 1992.

Description
For 14 years, the European Society of Gene Therapy
(ESGT) current ESGCT, has been actively involved in the evolution of the way we
understand and use of gene therapy and cell therapy. Gene therapy has
always been intertwined with cell therapy, even as early as in the late
1980s when the field started to emerge. Today our members are engaged
in research in these overlapping areas which cannot readily be
separated from one another. The members of our Society are leading the
world in cutting-edge research and laboratory techniques with gene
therapy, hematopoietic, mesenchymal and other stem or progenitor cells,
immunotherapies, dendritic cells, NK cells, T cells, pancreatic islets
and more. This wide range of target cells reflects a plethora of
diseases that are obvious targets for gene and cell therapy, including
cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurologic, hereditary and infectious
diseases.
ESGT has a new name to reflect these integral
changes. The ESGT has become the European Society of Gene and Cell
Therapy (ESGCT). The Society facilitates ongoing educational workshops
and meetings, supports topical scientific networks and committees,
offers a forum for gene therapy, cell therapy and genetic vaccine
professionals to interact, and provides a voice in the regulatory arena.
