What membership category do I fit into?
I am a student - why should I join?
Student membership to the Biochemical Society provides you with access to a wealth of information about educational and careers issues that are relevant to you.

I am in my second research post - why should I join?
Young Researcher membership to the Biochemical Society means that you pay less, at this early stage in your career, but lose none of the benefits of Full Membership.
Why should my school take out Society Membership?
Schools Membership ensures that your organisation receives a copy of the Biochemist six times a year – each edition has a special schools page – and offers an opportunity to catch up on current molecular and cell biology research. Teachers in your organisation will receive free places at Teachers’ Workshops.
Why would my organisation take up Networking Membership?
This is open to not-for-profit organisations. Networking Membership offers both your organisation and the Society the two-way benefit of exchanging information about science policy, your activities and the key people in your organisation. the Biochemist and Biochemist E-volution are two excellent organs by which life science news and views are disseminated. Your organisation would also have the opportunity to exhibit at a Society meeting at a discounted rate.
When will my membership begin/end?
Biochemical Society membership runs for twelve months from the month of joining.
