An Invitation to Join your Canadian Society of Microbiologists
The executive of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists (CSM) would like to invite you to join our society. On becoming a member of the CSM, you have a voice in a society that has been established for over 50 years ago. We bring together researchers, students and other professionals working in microbiology or allied disciplines.
Fostering the advancement of microbiology and the interchange of ideas.
The study of Microbiology encompasses all forms of microorganisms ranging from bacteria and their associated phage to eukaryotes (fungi, other lower eukaryotes and cell cultures) and their associated viruses. You will find the CSM is divided into 3 sections: Applied and Environmental Biology, Infection and Immunity, and Molecular Genetics and Cellular Microbiology. It is recognized that these 3 broad areas have overlap both in methodology and scientific interest. From its inception, CSM has sought to serve as the natural home for diverse applied and basic microbiologists across Canada.
The society is divided into 3 sections on the basis of broad areas of interest.
