The '''Federação das Sociedades de Biologia Experimental''' (Federation of Experimental Biology Societies, in [[Portuguese language]], acronym is '''FeSBE''') is a [[Brazil]]ian [[scientific association]] which federates a number of the mainstream specialized societies in experimental [[biology]] and [[medicine]]. It was founded in [[1985]] and currently has the following member societies:
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Fisiologia|Brazilian Society of Physiology]] (SBFis)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Biofísica|Brazilian Society of Biophysics]] (SBBf)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Bioquímica e Biologia Molecular|Brazilian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology]] (SBBq)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Farmacologia e Terapêutica Experimental|Brazilian Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics]] (SBFTE)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Imunologia|Brazilian Society of Immunology]] (SBI)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Neurociências e Comportamento|Brazilian Society of Neurosciences and Behavior]] (SBNeC)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Investigação Clínica|Brazilian Society of Clinical Investigation]] (SBIC)
There are also 4 associate member societies:
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia|Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabology]] (SBEM)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Biologia Celular|Brazilian Society of Cell Biology]] (SBBC)
* [[Sociedade Brasileira de Biociências Nucleares|Brazilian Society of Nuclear Biosciences]] (SBBN)
* [[Brazilian Research Association in Vision]] (BRAVO)
FeSBE holds an annual meeting with the societies of [[physiology]], [[pharmacology]], [[neurosciences]], [[biophysics]] and [[experimental medicine|clinical investigation]] every August, the three first societies responding for 83% of all attendees. The remaining societies [[biochemistry]] and [[molecular biology]], [[immunology]], [[endocrinology]], [[cell biology]] and [[radiobiology|nuclear bioscience]]s) have their own separate meetings.
The Annual FeSBE Meeting has the same importance of its American counterpart, the Federation of Experimental Biology Societies ([[FEBS]]), although smaller in size. In 2005 the Meeting has had 3,768 participants (74% of which were undergrad or graduate students) and 2,940 posters were presented. About 90% of the participants came from states from the South and Southeast regions.
FeSBE is affiliated with the [[Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência|Brazilian Society for Advancement of Science]]. Its current president is Dr. [[Gerhard Malnic]]. Former presidents were [[Eduardo Krieger]], [[Sérgio Ferreira]], [[Dora Fix Ventura]] and [[Antonio Carlos Campos de Carvalho]].
