The IUPAB was founded on 2 August 1961 in Stockholm as the International Organization of Pure and Applied Biophysics. The main goal of the Organization was to promote and organize international cooperation in biophysics and molecular biology and to encourage its development and practical application all over the world. Some detailed information on the foundation of the Union was published by A. K. Solomon (first Secretary General) in Quarterly Review of Biophysics. Another summary of the activity of IUPAB was prepared by R. D. Keynes (second Secretary General) in 1976.
