Info
The wwPDB Scientific Advisory Committee oversees the Worldwide Protein Data Bank consortium. It convenes annually (most recently 17 October 2025, virtual) and includes representatives from each member body plus external scientific-society representatives (IUCr, ISMAR, 3DEM). The full 2025 roster is cross-linked from the wwPDB parent page.
Beyond the AC itself, wwPDB operates through a network of Task Forces and Working Groups that tackle archive-level technical questions (validation, data models, integrative methods). Each has a charter and its own rotating membership.
