The Society for Free Radical Research is dedicated to promote interest in all aspects of research related to Free Radicals in any scientific endeavour. The frontiers of this exciting area were first charted by an eclectic group of synthetic organic chemists, ESR spectroscopists, radiation chemists and biochemists. Over the last few years we have been fortunate to witness a widespread recognition of the important role free radicals play in all our endeavours including diseases such as atherosclerosis and the inexorable process of ageing. The Society plays a central role in maintaining this pioneering spirit by providing a forum through its web site and regular conferences for scientists to meet, share the latest ideas and, hopefully, shape the future. The European branch of the Society is a registered charity and run by a committee which is elected by the membership to serve a two year term.
The Society consists of six regional groups to which any individual can belong: The European Region, the Americas or " Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine ", The Australasian Region, The Asian Region, The Asean and The African Region. Overseeing the activities of all the regions is " The Society for Free Radical Research International " to which all members automatically belong when they join a region and is run by a committee comprised of four officers, elected by the World-wide membership, plus two representatives from each regional group.
