The Pulmonary Pathology Society was established in 1995 to encourage education and research in the field of pulmonary pathology and to provide an international forum to exchange ideas and form collaborations. PPS encourages the highest standards in the practice and teaching of pulmonary pathology and promotes networking through discussion groups, listservs, forums, panels, & lectures. PPS interacts with international pathology societies and clinical organizations focused on pulmonary pathology medical specialties.

The PPS currently has nearly 300 members from more than 25 countries. Diverse careers and positions are represented among the membership: academic pulmonary pathologists, community practice pathologists, molecular pathologists, environmental pathologists, administrators in both academic and private settings, residents and fellows and emeritus professors.

PPS holds scientific conferences three times a year: the PPS Annual Meeting at USCAP, the PPS Symposia at the ASIP Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology, and a three-day Biennial Symposium alternating every other year with PPS Symposia at the International Academy of Pathology.

The Pulmonary Pathology Society is a Division of the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP). ASIP is the leading society of biomedical scientists investigating the pathogenesis of disease. ASIP is a member of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), a coalition of 22 independent societies that plays an active role in lobbying for the interests of 84,000 biomedical scientists. ASIP and Divisions is a consortia of biomedical societies representing the pathology, biobanking, and informatics scientific communities.

We hope that you will attend our upcoming educational and scientific meetings. We welcome new members and new ideas and encourage everyone with interest in pulmonary pathology to consider joining the PPS.
