Experimental Biology is an annual meeting that brings together researchers from dozens of life-science disciplines, from laboratory to translational to clinical investigation. Six professional societies take part in the ‘superconference’: American Association of Anatomists, American Physiological Society (APS), American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, American Society for Investigative Pathology, American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). ‘Reproducibility’ seemed to be the keyword of the conference.
