About IABMS

IABMS was formed in the year 1979, with Head Office at Dr. A.L.M. Postgraduate Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Madras, Taramani Campus, Chennai.

The acclaimed neurosurgeon, Prof. Dr. B. Ramamurthy was the first President, and Prof. Dr. S. Sarada Subramanyam, a renowned Physiologist was the first General Secretary of IABMS.

IABMS is a pan-Indian organization and has grown enormously in the last four decades.

Though IABMS had started with a modest bunch of individuals in 1979, presently the number of life members of IABMS is more than 1500.

The association recognizes outstanding contributions of individuals in the field of science and has established several awards that are given during their annual conference.

IABMS has an official organ of publication of scientific papers related to biomedical research and the title of the journal is ‘BIOMEDICINE’.
