Organizations

Society of Biology

The Society of Biology’s vision is to represent all who are committed to biology in academia, industry, education and research; to facilitate the promotion and translation of advances in biological science for national and international benefit, and to engage and encourage public interest in the life sciences. Members include practising scientists, students at all levels, professionals in academia, industry and education, and non-professionals with an interest in biology. With an effective membership of over 80,000, we are uniquely placed to represent the wider bioscience community and serve the public interest.

Southeast Regional Center of Excellence for Emerging Infectious Diseases and Biodefense (SERCEB)

SERCEB is one of eleven Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) to support basic and translational research focused on emerging infections and potential bioterror agents that may threaten the health of our nation. Now in its eighth year, SERCEB is headquartered at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and supports investigators at more than ten institutions across the Southeast (Region IV).

This organization is recognized as one of the Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases (RCEs) by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

Center for International Security and Cooperation
The Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University has the three-fold mission of producing outstanding policy-relevant research on international security, teaching and training the next generation of security specialists, and influencing public policy.” Scholars at CISAC “examine emerging biotechnologies that could be used to cause catastrophic harm, and how to respond to such threats…CISAC researchers [also] are thinking through related public policy issues such as the best ways to strengthen public health surveillance and emergency response, the utility and drawbacks of oversight of research or research publication, and the advantages and dangers of classified biodefense work.
