The International Alliance for Biological Standardization (IABS) is an independent, non-profit scientific alliance, with headquarters in Geneva (Switzerland).
IABS was founded in 1955 in Lyon, France by a group of experts who believed that such an organization could provide a forum where data could be discussed among scientists to improve the quality and the regulation of biological products from human and animal origin. IABS has members in over 50 countries.
The mission of the Alliance which is related to the scientific and medical advancement of Biologicals, includes :
- To host conferences and workshops, facilitate communication, and develop consensus on key contemporary issues related to biologicals among those who discover, develop, produce and regulate biological products for human and animal health
- To foster evidence-based science as the standard for improving and ensuring the quality and the safety of biological products
- To share scientific advancements and innovative regulatory solutions through our journal “Biologicals”.
