Celebrating 100 years
2025 marks the 100-year anniversary of The Company of Biologists. We are celebrating this important milestone with numerous activities throughout the year, including a unique scientific conference that took place in March.
Sharing scientific knowledge and discoveries has always been at the heart of The Company of Biologists. The Company was set up in 1925 to save The British Journal of Experimental Biology, currently known as Journal of Experimental Biology. During 2025 we will share content with you from the five journals that we publish today: Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open. We are diving into the archives, but will also publish new and original material that is related to our anniversary.
100 years into our existence, we do much more than publishing journals. We provide support to societies, conference organisers and individual researchers through our charitable grants and have a keen interest in supporting early-career researchers. We bring people together on our three community websites: the Node, preLights and FocalPlane.
We also organise our own Meetings and Workshops, providing biologists with networking opportunities and a platform to share their latest research. Our anniversary conference in March brought together all our communities and was a true celebration of both biology and biologists.

Biologists @ 100
Our anniversary conference, Biologists @ 100, took place from 24 to 27 March in the ACC in Liverpool. It was a true celebration of both biology and biologists, made possible by the support from the organising committee, our society partners, speakers, sponsors and our in-house team.
We will shortly be sharing more photos and a video from the conference.
A big thanks to all who attended and made this conference a real success.
