INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR ARTIFICIAL CELLS, BLOOD

SUBSTITUTES & BIOTECHNOLOGY (ISABB)

www.artcell.mcgill.ca

AIMS OF THIS INTERNATIONAL NETWORK

This international network was formed in 1976 to encourage research, development

and clinical applications in artificial cells, blood substitutes, nanomedicine, regenerative

medicine, tissue engineering, cell/stem cell therapy, hemoperfusion, bioencapsulation,

and related areas. We have avoided a tight and restrictive organizational structure. Instead,

responsibilities are widely distributed to committees and organizers of congresses and

symposia. This allows this society to benefit from fresh ideas and novel approaches and

to move with the frontier of research. This, plus the enthusiastic participation and voluntary

contribution of members of the society, has allowed us to continue this international network

for more than 30 years without charging membership fees

ARTIFICIAL CELLS, BLOOD SUBSTITUTES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY,

an international journal (publisher: Taylor & Francis Publisher, New York)

Before 2003 this journal was "Artificial Cells, Blood Subsitutes and Immobilization Biotechnology").

This is a peer reveiw journal that is the oldest journal in the field having started in 1972 as

"Biomaterial, Medical Devices & Artificial Organs, an international journal". We allow the name

of the journal to change to reflect the frontier of research in the area. Starting in 2003 the name

of the journal has been "Artificial Cells Blood Substitutes and Biotechnology".
