Welcome to the home of the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists (ASPB). As a professional society and self-regulating body, the ASPB is committed to the promotion of excellence in the practice of biology.
Our Purpose

- To promote education in the field of professional biology;
- To provide a mechanism through which the public of Alberta will be assured of the highest possible standards in the practice of professional biology; and
- To provide a recognized voice for professional biologists in Alberta.
The ASPB welcomes applicants from the disciplines of aquatic biology, bacteriology, botany, ecology, entomology, genetics, microbiology, physiology, wildlife biology and zoology.
