Founded in 1997, the Proteome Society is an early leader in uniting those interested in the field of Proteomics. Its model is to provide an open forum leading to collaboration among its members. Sponsored by technology companies, supported by volunteers and guided by their prestigious Scientific Advisory Council, the Proteome Society reinforces a basic tenet of scientific discovery--peer networking. The Society currently has nearly two thousand members from thirty seven countries and welcomes new volunteers and members. The Proteome Society operates as a non-profit California corporation.

The California Separation Science Society (CaSSS), is a not-for-profit chromatography discussion group serving separation scientists in California. The purpose of the society is to provide a professional forum for the dissemination of information and technology regarding separation science. CaSSS sponsors numerous one-day symposia focused on particular areas of separation science. Several dinner discussion group meetings are held annually in order to address more general topics in analytical chemistry and to provide further networking opportunities. In addition, CaSSS sponsors several international symposia and provides student travel grants to many such symposia. Volunteers from the Board of Directors and the CaSSS business office implement these programs.

The Society for Biological Engineers mission is to promote the integration of biology with engineering and realize its benefits through bioprocessing, biomedical and biomolecular applications. Its goals are connecting people by making the Society for Biological Engineering the professional association of choice for engineers and applied scientists with interest in the broad area of biological engineering, cultivating knowledge to develop products and services which are cost effective, relevant, and bring value to the broad biological engineering community and catalizing the future, to infuse awareness of biological engineering and to raise interest, understanding, and recognition of engineers’ and scientists’ roles in biological engineering.
