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.
