The Protein Society is a not-for-profit scholarly society with a mission to advance state-of-the-art science through international forums that promote communication, cooperation, and collaboration among scientists involved in the study of proteins.For 36 years, The Protein Society has served as the intellectual home of investigators across all disciplines -and from around the world -involved in the study of protein structure, function, and design.The Society provides forums for scientific collaboration and communication and supports professional growth of young investigators through workshops, networking opportunities, and by encouraging junior researchers to participate fully in the Annual Symposium.In addition to our Symposium, the Society's prestigious journal, Protein Science, serves as an ideal platform to further the science of proteins in the broadest sense possible.
