Portland Press

As the Biochemical Society’s publisher, we work in partnership with researchers, institutions, and funders to share knowledge and advance the molecular biosciences.

Publishing world-leading research and reviews across our portfolio of seven journals, we return all of our profits to the life science community in support of our Society’s charitable activities. With around 5.4 million worldwide article views in 2022 alone, our journals cover the depth and breadth of the molecular biosciences, from observational work to elucidating mechanisms, from translating basic research into medical insights to foundational overviews of new and emerging topics.

Our joint mission

Alongside the Biochemical Society, we represent one half of a joint mission to disseminate and advance science, to share knowledge and expertise, critically discuss ideas, and to provide forums for collaboration. Publishing the best possible research and reviews helps us to achieve this. Returning all of our profits to the Biochemical Society, we also help to facilitate their scientific meetings, training events, educational activities, public engagement and policy work, and awards and grants. Investing our profits back into the life science community, we are able to better support current and future generations of scientists, driving our research areas forward and promoting the positive societal impact of our shared disciplines to wider audiences.
