What do we do？

Mission

The Cell and Molecular Biology Assembly aims to promote respiratory research and education for members who are interested in cutting-edge science. Recognizing that diverse respiratory diseases share common molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways, the Assembly fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration to accelerate translational research from bench to bedside. It contributes to the development of novel research techniques and the dissemination of up-to-date tools. It also encourages young researchers to strengthen scientific skills and advance their careers.

Interests

Current Assembly hot topics include the cellular and molecular aspects of respiratory diseases across all the APSR fields. Building on the concept that these conditions often share common molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways, the Assembly promotes cross-disciplinary and translational research linking basic discoveries to clinical applications.
This Assembly is interested in:

1. advancing research skills through cellular and molecular approaches with clear translational relevance
2. education and training in up-to-date methodologies and emerging technologies
3. dissemination of scientific knowledge, tools, and best practices to the respiratory community
4. supporting young researchers in career development and international networking

Who should join

Researchers and clinicians interested in the cellular and molecular basis of respiratory diseases and in translating mechanistic insights into clinical applications (biomarkers, diagnostics, and therapies). The Assembly welcomes basic, translational, and clinical scientists across all respiratory fields—including early-career investigators—who want to collaborate across disease areas, share state-of-the-art methods and tools, and build international networks.
