International Society for Extremophiles
The International Society for Extremophiles
(ISE) was founded at the initiative
of the members of the Editorial Board
of the Extremophiles Journal in 2002.
The ISE is intended to be a forum
for the exchange of information and
experience in the rapidly growing
field of research on extremophiles.
The main objectives of the society
comprise:
• Support of scientists who
dedicate their research to the investigation
of extremophilic microorganisms
and their enzymes for basic
and applied research
• Creating benefits for the
ISE members including reduced subscription
fees for the Extremophiles
Journal which is the official journal
of the ISE
• Support of the local organizers
of the biennial Extremophiles Conferences
• Scholarships and travel grants
for young scientists
Prof. Koki Horikoshi (JAMSTEC, Japan),
chief editor of the Extremophiles
Journal, was the founding president
of ISE. He was supported by the vice
president Prof. Garabed Antranikian
(Hamburg University of Technology,
Germany). During the Extremophiles
Conference in
Baltimore, 2004, Prof. Antranikian
took over office from Prof. Horikoshi
