Mission and History
“The mission of the
Society is to promote the discovery, advancement, and dissemination of basic
and translational knowledge in experimental pathology and related
disciplines. This shall be achieved by fostering investigation into the
pathogenesis, classification, diagnosis, and manifestations of disease
through meetings, publications, and educational activities.”
The American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) is a society of
biomedical scientists who investigate mechanisms of disease. Investigative
pathology is an integrative discipline that links the presentation of disease in
the whole organism to its fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms. It uses
a variety of structural, functional, and genetic techniques and ultimately
applies research findings to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. ASIP
advocates for the practice of investigative pathology and fosters the
professional career development and education of its members.
ASIP welcomes basic and clinical biomedical research scientists as active
members.
The International
Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) is a division
of ASIP
ASIP is a member of the
Federation of
American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), a coalition of
22 independent societies that plays an active
role in lobbying for the interests of 84,000 biomedical scientists.
