The Company of Biologists: celebrating 100 years

2025 marks 100 years since the formation of The Company of Biologists, which was set up in 1925 to save The British Journal of Experimental Biology (now Journal of Experimental Biology). As part of our celebrations, we are sharing content with you about the past, present and future of the Company, our journals and charitable activities throughout our anniversary year. We are diving into our archives and reaching out to extraordinary members of our community to bring you new and original material that is related to our anniversary. As well as discussing the Company's history and activities, we are publishing articles focussing on the development of the biological fields covered by our journals. We hope that you will find these stories interesting and, to learn more about the other activities we have planned in 2025, please visit The Company of Biologists’ anniversary page.

This collection brings together our 100-year anniversary articles as they are published in our five journals: Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open.
