Turkish Biochemical Society (Turkish and English)

The Turkish Biochemical Society (TBS) was founded in 1975 at Ankara, to serve as an umbrella for establishing and supporting professional contacts and information exchange among all those working in the field of basic and applied biochemistry (clinical chemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, molecular medicine, bioinformatics, etc.) mainly through the organization of scientific activities. Besides stimulating scientific collaborations within professionals of the field, TBS aims to advance research in the science of biochemistry and to improve undergraduate and postgraduate biochemistry education. Another mission of TBS is to enhance patient care through training on competence, quality and accreditation of medical laboratories in Turkey for improvement of their standards and service. Through active collaborations with governmental (Ministry of Health, etc.) and non-governmental institutions (educational and research bodies), the society also delivers assistance on related health issues and is involved in developing health policies. Today, TBS is one of the leading national associations of Turkey with more than two thousand (2 000) members and official branches at major cities like Istanbul, Izmir and Adana.  The Society represents graduate students and professionals working in the area of basic and applied biochemistry (clinical chemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, molecular medicine, bioinformatics, etc.). It also accepts non-residential scientists living in other countries as members as long as they are Turkish citizens.
