About Us

The Life Sciences and Biomedical Engineering Branch (LSBEB) is a constituent organization of the Aerospace Medical Association made up of like-minded individuals with an interest and/or expertise in aerospace life sciences and biomedical engineering.  Membership in the LSBEB requires membership in our parent organization, the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA).  The LSBEB originated from the 1974 merger of two Affiliate organizations, the Aerospace Industrial Life Sciences Association, established in 1962, and the Biomedical Sciences and Engineering Branch (originally named the Bio-Environmental Engineering Section), established in 1965. At its core, the LSBEB provides a focal point for informal and formal professional exchange among the highly divergent viewpoints represented by life sciences, specifically those of a biomedical and engineering nature.The LSBEB's unique objective and purpose amongst other Constituents of the AsMA is to advance aerospace life sciences and biomedical engineering.  We do this by establishing and maintaining cooperation between scientific and engineering disciplines as a means of supporting the application of technology to resolving continuing problems of healthcare, safety, and operational efficiency of personnel working in aerospace and other challenging environments.
