內容簡介：
【組織簡介】 The Society for Free Radical Research (SFRR) is dedicated to promote interest in all aspects of research related to Free Radicals in any scientific endeavour. The frontiers of this exciting area were first charted by an eclectic group of synthetic organic chemists, esr spectroscopists, radiation chemists and biochemists. Over the last few years they have been fortunate to witness a widespread recognition of the important role free radicals play in all their endeavours including diseases such as atherosclerosis and the inexorable process of ageing. The Society plays a central role in maintaining this pioneering spirit by providing a forum through its newsletters and regular conferences for scientists to meet, share the latest ideas and, hopefully, shape the future. The European branch of the Society is a registered charity and run by a committee which is elected by the membership to serve a two year term.
The Society consists of four regional groups to which any individual can belong: The European Region, the Americas or "The Oxygen Society", the Australasian region, and The Asian Region. Overseeing the activities of all the regions is "The Society for Free Radical Research International" to which all members automatically belong when they join a region and is run by a committee comprised of four officers, elected by the World-wide membership, plus two representatives from each regional group.
The advantages of membership of SFRR Europe are: Receipt of the Journal Free Radical Research, the official journal of SFRR Europe, that will include a regular newsletter. This will contain details of (i) review articles of general interest: (ii) forthcoming Society meetings (iii) notices and reports of other meetings (iv) new books on free radicals and related areas.
Participation in regular Society Meetings, with reduced registration for members.
Participation at Biannual General Meetings of the Society. The tenth Biannual Meeting will be held in Kyoto. Japan in the year 2000.
Reduced subscription rates for Free Radical Biology & Medicine (further info from the publisher)
Support for young scientists to attend international meetings. "

Historical Notes The Inaugural Meeting of the Society was held at The Royal Institution, London on 9 July 1982.
At the First Biennial Meeting, held at Brunel University in September 1982, the name Society for Free Radical Research was adopted (preferred by ballot to The Antioxidant Society), a Constitution agreed, and a President (Chairman )and Officers and Committee elected.
The SFRR logo (designed by Brian Bandy),was chosen by ballot at the Second Biennial General Meeting held in York, England, in 1984.
To accommodate the ever increasing size of the Society, in 1988 in Kyoto, a new Constitution was proposed, and the autonomous regional groups: SFRR (Asia), SFRR (Australasia) and SFRR (Europe), inaugurated. The Oxygen Society, founded in the USA in 1987, agreed to become a constituent member of SFRR, retaining its own name and constitution, but becoming also de facto SFRR (Americas).
