The American Physiological Society is a non-profit organization based in Rockville, Maryland, that advances physiological science by promoting rigorous research and understanding of how living systems function. Founded in 1887, APS connects a global, multidisciplinary community of about 10,000 scientists and educators, facilitating collaboration and highlighting new discoveries in physiology and related disciplines. Its work supports progress toward treatments and cures for diseases such as cancer and heart disease, and it also addresses how obesity, addiction, and climate change affect living organisms.

The society serves researchers and educators who generate knowledge with implications for medicine and public health, operating within the non-profit scientific community. In 2026, Sue Bodine, Ph.D., began a one-year term as APS president.
