History
The AIMBN was founded in 1997 with a mission to promote molecular biology and biotechnology in the Asia-Pacific region. The organisation was modelled after EMBO, and EMBO took an advisory role during the AIMBN’s early period, in particular in the screening of potential membership candidates. By 2007, they had 300 members in 16 participating ‘economies’ (so-called due to the political situations in Taipei and Taiwan), and 16 supporting institutes across the region. They held conferences and courses in participating economies.
