Historical note

The purpose of the American Society of Andrology (ASA) is to encourage the scientific interchange and knowledge of the male reproductive system and to promote an interdisciplinary approach to the study of male reproduction.

The ASA was founded in 1975 and as of 2005 has over 775 members from all over the world specializing in a wide variety of fields. Membership consists of both scientists and clinicians whose specialty fields include male reproduction, endocrinology, urology, anatomy, gynecology/obstetrics, biochemistry, animal science, molecular and cell biology, and reproductive technologies.

The ASA supports its efforts by holding conferences and meetings and through its bimonthly scientific journal, the Journal of Andrology.
