Welcome to The Histochemical Society!

The HCS Mission Statement

The Histochemical Society is an organization of scientists sharing a passion for the development and use of visual techniques that provide biochemical and molecular information about the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs and for the dissemination of this knowledge through education and outreach.

The Society fulfills its mission through publishing its Journal, the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, and through the management of annual meetings and short courses.  We invite you to explore our website, journal, newsletters, awards programs and course offerings.  Email us with any questions or to receive additional information about our society.

The Benefits of Membership

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry (JHC)

JHC has been a pre-eminent cell biology journal for over  50 years and is a leader in the field of current imaging techniques and publishes primary research articles, timely reviews, editorials and perspectives on the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs. It is intended as a central source for research into mechanisms of development, differentiation, and disease. High priority is given to submissions where imaging techniques are complemented by new genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches.

A Time to Grieve, Reflect, and Reassess: The Histochemical Society joins FASEB's Statement on Racial Violence 

The Histochemical Society and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) join the nation in mourning the senseless loss of lives of far too many victims of race-based violence. As advocates, we strongly support the peaceful protests and demonstrations that spotlight overt inequalities still rampant across our country.
