About Us

We are the PASPCR
Founded in 1988, the PanAmerican Society for Pigment Cell Research (PASPCR) is a scientific society composed of members who study all aspects of the cells that make pigmentation possible. We are one of four sister societies that make up the International Federation of Pigment Cell Societies (IFPCS). The other three societies are the Asian Society, the Japanese Society and the European Society.
Our Society is composed of clinicians, developmental biologists, biochemists, immunologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, chemists and physicists who work in North America, Central America and South America.
We warmly welcome you!
