History
ÖGMBT was established in 2008 by merging three independent Societies representing scientists from different areas of Life Sciences. The structure of the society consists of four sub-organisations located in different regions of Austria, with the main office located in Vienna. The location of the society´s annual meeting is rotated between the cities Salzburg, Graz, Innsbruck and Vienna.
ÖGMBT became a member of FEBS in 2009; one of its parent organizations (OGBM) was a member from 1964.
