The Biophysical Society of Japan is contributing to the development of biophysical research worldwide as a member of the biophysical related associations in the world including Asia.
International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics was founded in 1961.
Japan has been an active member since the beginning. (Formal affiliated organization is Japan Science Council IUPAB Subcommittee)
Currently, about 50 countries and regions participate, contributing to exchange among researchers and promotion of biophysics.
