INVITATION
The Organising Committee of ICMSM2015 takes
great pleasure in inviting you to participate in
the International Congress organised by the
Malaysian Society for Microbiology. The theme
for this year’s meeting is "Microbiology Meeting the Needs of A Changing World". Although microbial
biotechnology has been instrumental in improving
quality of life worldwide, there remain new
frontiers for us to delve into while progressively
expanding the existing domains with the ultimate purpose of addressing human needs and well-
being.
We welcome you to Pearl of the Orient,
Penang, from the 7 to 10 December 2015 to be part of an exciting Congress. As in previous
years, the Congress will identify and address
current and pertinent issues of interest to both
regional and international audience. We
believe ICMSM2015 will provide a platform to enhance research and innovations through
networking, knowledge sharing and
collaboration. The fusion of knowledge,
technologies, ideas, and innovation presented
and discussed at the Congress will provide an exciting gathering for microbiologists from all
fields. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be
part of this Congress whilst taking some time to
enjoy the beautiful island of Penang.
