1970年 ，在美國Virginia州舉行了國際生物無機化學討論會，僅19篇報告，并由R.F.Gould匯編“生物無機化學”。
1971年，美國著名化學家G.N.Schrazer主編的雜志Bioinorganic Chemistry創刊，1979年更名為J.Inorganic BioChemistry
1995年，C.D.Garner和I.Betini再次發起成立國際生物無機化學學會(The Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry)并于1996年出版會刊 “J.of Biological Inorganic Chemistry”JBIC 僅僅幾年時間該刊已躍居國際上最有影響的刊物之一。
1983年起，由I.Bertini，H.B.Gray，B.G．Malmstrom and H.Sigel組成生物無機化學國際會議組織委員會，決定每兩年召開一次會議。
Advances in bioinorganic chemistry since the 1970s have been driven by three factors:
* Rapid determination of high-resolution structure of proteins and other biomolecules;
* Utilization of powerful spectroscopic tools for studies of both structures and dynamics;
* The widespread use of macromolecular engineering to create new biologically relevant structures. Today, very large molecules can be manipulated, with the result that certain proteins and nucleic acids themselves have become versatile model systems for elucidating biological function.
