The chairmen of the study groups of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Immunologie (DGfI, Ottmar Janssen), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zellbiologie (DGZ, Ralf Hass) and Gesellschaft für Biochemie und Molekularbiologie (GBM, Karlheinz Friedrich) arranged a new conference named Joint Meeting “Signal Transduction: Receptors, Mediators and Genes” which was held in Langen in November 1997. In 1998, the Gesellschaft für Signaltransduktion (GST) / Signal Transduction Society (STS) was founded by the three meeting organizers, with Ottmar Janssen being the Founding President and Ralf Hass and Karlheinz Friedrich the Vice Presidents. These three founders of the STS were the first to become STS Honorary Members.
