The Molecular Biology Society of Japan was established as an academic society where researchers aiming to elucidate life phenomena at the molecular level gather from diverse fields to engage in borderless discussions using the common language of molecular biology. It values an interdisciplinary, free, and open atmosphere.

In addition to hosting annual meetings (scientific conferences), publishing the journal Genes to Cells, and engaging in next-generation education through outreach lectures at high schools and student presentation sessions at annual meetings, the Society also actively communicates information via social media. Furthermore, it continues to address challenges related to improving members' research environments and advancing internationalization.
