Non-Profit Physiology Organization In Canada
Physiology & Biological Scientific Information Discussions
Forum For Scientific Information
The Canadian Physiological Society is a non-profit society that serves as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of scientific information of interest to researchers in Physiology and related Biological Sciences. The Canadian Physiological Society was founded in 1935, following a 1934 meeting in Montreal of the following eminent Canadian physiologists:
- C.H. Best, L. Irving, G.F. Marrian, and P.J. Moloney (U of T)
- G.S. Melvin (Queen’s)
- J.K.W. Ferguson (UWO)
- E.G. Asselin (U Montreal)
- B.P. Babkin, J.S.L. Browne, J.B. Collip, R.V. Christie, R.L. Stehle, J. Tait, and D.L. Thompson (McGill).
The inaugural President was Dr. J.B. Collip, elected in 1936.

The goals of the CPS are to motivate the research in the Physiological sciences and to develop communication between the Canadian scientific societies.
A vibrant group of scientists working nationally and globally to understand how the human body works in health and disease.
We support young and established physiologists in Canada, connecting them with scientists around the world.
