Member Societies

Membership is available to pharmacological societies in the Asia Pacific region that are affiliated to IUPHAR, and is contingent on the vote of the membership of each Society in accord with its statutes to join the Federation. Each member of an affiliated Society automatically becomes a member of the Federation. The Federation has no authority to intervene in the internal affairs of member societies unless requested by a majority of the membership of that Society.

Current member societies include:

• Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists (ASCEPT) (www.ascept.org)
• Chinese Pharmacological Society (www.cnphars.org)
• Indonesian Pharmacological Association
• Japanese Pharmacological Society (JPS) (www.pharmacol.or.jp)
• Korean Society of Pharmacology (www.kosphar.org)
• Malaysian Society of Pharmacology and Physiology (http://mspp.com.my)
• Pharmacological Society in Taiwan (http://www.pharmacology.org.tw; Chinese only)
• Pharmacological and Therapeutics Society of Thailand
• Pharmacological Society of Singapore (PSS)
• Philippine Society of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology

Individual membership may be granted to pharmacologists in parts of the region that do not have a pharmacological society affiliated with IUPHAR, provided that such persons undertake to work towards the formation of a local Society and eventually its affiliation with IUPHAR.

Corporate membership is available to commercial and government organisations operating within the region.

Member societies pay an annual subscription to the Federation based on a scale designated by IUPHAR.
