American Society of Microbiology - ASM General Meeting 2012

The asm2012 covers fundamental microbial cell biology, genetics and physiology, environmental and applied microbiology and microbial ecology, pathogenesis and clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. The meeting showcases the central role of microbes in the biosphere by reporting today’s best science in the diverse areas influenced by microbes. The breadth of this meeting provides participants opportunities for immersion in fields of specialization as well as forays into different disciplines.

Upon completion of asm2012 attendees should be able to:

Use new new technologies, new practices, and developments in clinical microbiology to improve their clinical practice and patient outcomes;

Recognize and interpret critical information regarding physiology, genetics, and cell biology of microbes;

Discuss key updates in the areas of microbial pathogenesis, environmental microbiology and applied microbiology; and

Synthesize new data on the roles of microbes in health and disease, and aspects of host immunity to infectious diseases.
