The Entomological Society of Canada represents one of the biggest and oldest societies in whole Canada. This entomological society focuses on professional work with insects and other vermin species. It was founded in Toronto on April 16, 1863 and offered students as well as lovers and enthusiasts of entomology a wide range of knowledge – and free access to the whole collection of information about entomology.

The Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) is the professional body for those who work within the field of biomedical science. Its principal aims are to represent its members, set standards of behaviour for its members, enable career development, educate its members, promote biomedical science to the public and award qualifications appropriate to the collective knowledge and skill base of its members.

National Space Biomedical Research Institute is a unique, non-profit science institute established in 1997 by NASA through an open competition. The Institute is working on countermeasures to the health-related problems and physical and psychological challenges men and women will face on long-duration missions. The research consortium's primary objective is to ensure safe and productive human spaceflight.

Established in 1995 the Tissue Engineering Pages website serves people interested in the field of Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell research. This continually updated communication platform has become a well-known source of information to international experts in the field. The Tissue Engineering Pages provide information on conferences, organizations and supports exchange and communication between people interested in this field.

The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a non-profit consortium that has grown to include 63 universities and research institutions from the United States, Latin America and Australia.

The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) is a nonprofit, worldwide organization whose mission is to provide science that improves public health and well-being. 

The cyanosite webserver is a useful resource for cyanobacteria researchers and teachers. Highlights of the site include CyBib, the most extensive online cyanobacteria bibliography, and a link to cyanonews, a newsletter for cyanobacteriologists. The site also provides lab protocols, media recipes, a taxonomic reference, conference announcements, and a gallery with more than 200 images of cyanobacteria.

NCGR in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a non-profit research institute dedicated to improving human health and nutrition.

It is the branch of science dealing with microscopic, decay-resistant remains of certain plants and animals. It has many applications including archaeological palynology, Quaternary palynology , and stratigraphic palynology.

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive is the single worldwide repository of information about the 3D structures of large biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids. These are the molecules of life that are found in all organisms including bacteria, yeast, plants, flies, other animals, and humans. Understanding the shape of a molecule helps to understand how it works. This knowledge can be used to help deduce a structure's role in human health and disease, and in drug development. The structures in the archive range from tiny proteins and bits of DNA to complex molecular machines like the ribosome. The PDB archive is available at no cost to users. The PDB archive is updated each week at the target time of Wednesday 00:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The most recent release is timestamped and linked on every page in the top right header.
