The American journal of pathology centennial project: Celebrating 100 years of the American Society for investigative pathology

摘要

The American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) traces its origins to two predecessor societies, the American Society for Experimental Pathology (ASEP) and the American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists (AAPB). The ASEP was established in 1913 to provide pathological representation to the nascent Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), and ASIP continues to convene annually at the FASEB meeting with some of its sister FASEB societies. The second branch of ASIP's genealogical tree, AAPB, was formed in 1900. The two societies merged in 1976 to become the American Association of Pathologists, which was subsequently re-incorporated in 1992 as ASIP.
