Internet Biologists (I.B.) is currently a non-profit independent international platform for the advancement of biological sciences and academic scholarship through the Internet.

A worldwide network of collaborators in academia and industry is available to participate and assist with the new projects on volunteer basis. Active contributors to extend the I.B.'s research capabilities are always welcome.
 
Since 1996, we strive to foster virtual connections between Biologists at disparate locations, provide training opportunities for research scientists with the integration of Internet tools into their research, and provide networking and mentoring opportunities for the international Biological research community.

Through specialized projects (B.R.I., D.B.R.I., V.I.W.B., V.R.M.L....) I.B. promotes tool development for education and visualization of biological models in addition to biological collaboration between different groups on the internet. Discussion groups are initiated and innovative solutions and models are offered. 

Research efforts are driven by the need to fill the gaps of resource scarcity in local bioscience communities around the world.Through collective minds and ease of access to a variety of research tools, most of the I. B. participants and consultants today, continue their virtual union and benefit the informal guidance towards individual research solutions.
