Virtual Meeting
The Missouri branch and the Missouri Valley branch of the American Society for Microbiology invite area students and scientists working in academia, industry, and clinical microbiology to submit abstracts for presentation at the annual, joint branch meeting to be held virtually on March 18-19, 2021. The meeting will feature lectures by two ASM Distinguished Lecturers and presentations by students, faculty, post-doctoral researchers, industry researchers, and clinical professionals from the region. The meeting is a great venue for undergraduate and graduate student researchers to gain experience presenting their research, and awards will be given to the top student presenters.
