Encouraging Innovation and Diversity
The Company of Biologists has a long and proud history of funding a range of charitable programmes that enable biologists to collaborate on important scientific research that contributes to new discoveries and treatments. Income generated from the publication of the internationally renowned journals - Development, Disease Models & Mechanisms, Journal of Cell Science and The Journal of Experimental Biology - is reinvested in the community providing grants, travelling fellowships and sponsorship to noteworthy scientists, meetings and societies around the world.
The Company’s Directors are leading biologists, librarians and computer scientists, who receive no remuneration for their services and are dedicated to supporting the interests of the community in the advancement of uncovering new scientific discoveries.
