ABOUT SEB SCIENTIFIC SECTION
The SEB runs 4 Sections: Animal Biology, Plant Biology, Cell Biology and SEB+. Each Section has its own special interest groups.
Interest groups are scientific themes that represent the interests of SEB members. The interest groups help to organise sessions at our Annual Meeting and our Symposia. Each interest group is headed by a group convenor and the group convenors together with the Section Chair make up the Section Committee.
