Become a Member

It’s very easy to become a member of the BSCB!

  • This link will take you to a secure external membership service provider for the online application.
  • Alternatively, download a pdf application  form to return by email as specified on the form.
  • To approve your application, we request support from an active BSCB member that knows you (we just need their name and email address). Most UK Biosciences departments will have a BSCB Ambassador and also many full BSCB members, or you may know one of the committee members.
  • Once your membership has been approved, please download this Direct debit form, fill it in and return as described on the form.
  • Multiple applications can be made and paid for together (for example for multiple PhD students from one institution) and a single invoice raised. If you wish to take advantage of this, please send your completed forms here.

We look forward to you becoming a member and joining the ever-growing British Cell Biology Community!
