The American Association of Bangladeshi Pharmaceutical Scientists (AABPS) was founded by a group of Bangladeshi pharmaceutical scientists attending the 1997 AAPS Annual Meeting in Boston. Over the years, the organization has grown to include over 100 members dedicated to advancing pharmaceutical science and technology. American Association of Bangladeshi Pharmaceutical Scientists is a non-political, non-religious, and not-for-profit tax-exempt professional organization of volunteers committed to preserving Bangladeshi heritage, discovering new knowledge, and sharing resources with the world.
