The Company of Biologists
The Company of Biologists is a not for profit publishing organisation dedicated to supporting and inspiring the
biological community. The Company publishes five specialist peer-reviewed journals: Development, Journal of Cell Science, Jo
urnal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open. It offers further support to
the biological community by facilitating scientific meetings and communities, providing

Topics for future Society meetings
One of the major tasks of the BSDB committee is to select topics to be covered in future meetings and ensure that the meetings are well organised and successful. If you are interested in organising a meeting or have a suggestion for future meeting topics or formats, please contact the BSDB Meetings Secretary (secretary@bsdb.org).
Would you like to exhibit a trade stand at a BSDB meeting?
