The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses.
It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools.
The Journal of Medical Microbiology (JMM) is a journal published by the Microbiology Society, focused on providing comprehensive coverage of medical, dental and veterinary microbiology and infectious diseases, including bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology. This month, Dr Marcello Riggio has selected ‘Staphylococcus aureus products subvert the Burkholderia cenocepacia-induced inflammatory response in airway epithelial cells’.
This International Volunteer Day we would like to thank everyone who has volunteered and contributed to another great year for the Society and the microbiology community.
Four trainees who presented at the Federation of Infection Societies Conference 2019 (FIS 2019) have been given the first Infection Science Award bursaries to present at Annual Conference 2020.
Each year, the Microbiology Society awards a number of grants that enable undergraduates to work on microbiological research projects during the summer vacation. Over the next few months, we’ll be posting a series of articles from members who were awarded Harry Smith Vacation Studentships this summer. This week is David Anderson, a final year Microbiology student at the University of Glasgow.
