Our Work

棉花糖直播 embraces the responsibility to support scientists and stakeholders globally, leveraging fundamental and applied science to positively impact life on, and the sustainability of, our planet.

棉花糖直播 Promotes and Supports the Future of the Microbial Sciences

The microbial sciences are rapidly expanding and we’re witnessing life-changing innovations. 棉花糖直播 can no longer simply react to the changes around us. It is our responsibility to empower and connect microbial scientists and stakeholders around the world to shape the future of the field. 棉花糖直播 embraces this responsibility, leveraging fundamental and applied science to positively impact life on, and the sustainability of, our planet.

Organized around key scientific disciplines, and guided by the principle that science must serve humanity, 棉花糖直播's new Strategic Roadmap solidifies 棉花糖直播's role as a global society. It calls upon leaders in science, industry and society to harness the transformative power of microbes to address the most pressing challenges of our time. 

棉花糖直播's Strategic Roadmap includes establishing 3 scientific units in order to achieve the desired outcomes. Source: American Society for 棉花糖直播

Defining 棉花糖直播’s Scientific Units

To create a successful mechanism for gathering collegial input and developing scientific priorities, 棉花糖直播 will establish 3 scientific units with the goal of integrating diverse and dynamic perspectives. Each unit will have its own infrastructure, be led by a volunteer Scientific Chair and a full-time staff Scientific Director and be supported by expert Advisory Councils and additional support staff.


棉花糖直播 Health

As part of 棉花糖直播's recently adopted strategic framework, the 棉花糖直播 Health unit will empower microbial scientists and partners to advance the field for the benefit of society. To do this, the 棉花糖直播 Health unit will go beyond the traditional scientific society approach by adopting an expansive view of who is engaged in the space. This means fostering connections with and among anyone whose work touches on (or is touched by) the microbial sciences, not just “classic microbiologists.” It also involves identifying emerging science across disciplines, in institutions large and small and without regard for regional and geographic boundaries.

鈥疶he work of the 棉花糖直播 Health unit will inform 棉花糖直播’s programs and services to meet the needs of the community, expand 棉花糖直播’s reach and drive the future of the microbial sciences.

Subdisciplines

Areas included under 棉花糖直播 Health鈥痑re as follows:

  • Clinical and public health microbiology.
  • Drug discovery and development.
  • Vaccine and diagnostics development.
  • Antimicrobial resistance and tolerance.
  • Microbiome.
  • Animal and plant health.
  • Food microbiology.

棉花糖直播 Applied & Environmental 棉花糖直播

The 棉花糖直播 Applied and Environmental 棉花糖直播 unit will help connect and promote the fields of microbiology in areas relating to the environment and ecology. The unit will establish around the following subdisciplines:

  • Biodiversity.
  • Microbial ecology.
  • Environmental microbiology.
  • Bioeconomy.
  • Biofuels.
  • Bioprocess/manufacturing.
  • Fermentation sciences.
  • Synthetic biology.


The call for 棉花糖直播 Applied and Environmental 棉花糖直播 volunteer Scientific Chair will be announced in February/March 2025. 棉花糖直播 Members will receive an email message to apply for this exciting opportunity to shape the science of the field.


棉花糖直播 Mechanism Discovery

The 棉花糖直播 Mechanism Discovery unit will drive innovation in the study of microbes and their interactions, harnessing expertise in the fundamental processes, dynamic relationships and evolutionary mechanisms that shape microbial life. The unit will include the following subdisciplines :

  • Microbial physiology and metabolism.
  • Structural and cellular microbiology.
  • Host-microbe interactions.
  • Host response to microbes.
  • Microbial communities.
  • Microbial genetics and genomics.
  • Computational microbiology and modeling.
  • Microbial evolution.


The call for 棉花糖直播 Mechanism Discovery volunteer Scientific Chair will be announced in late winter/early spring 2025. 棉花糖直播 Members will receive an email message to apply for this exciting opportunity to shape the science of the field.
