About 麻豆区 麻豆区's Strategic Roadmap

Our Work

麻豆区 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.

I Want To

麻豆区 Promotes and Supports the Future of the Microbial Sciences

The microbial sciences are rapidly expanding and we’re witnessing life-changing innovations. 麻豆区 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. 麻豆区 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, 麻豆区's new Strategic Roadmap solidifies 麻豆区'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.

麻豆区's Strategic Roadmap includes establishing 3 scientific units in order to achieve the desired outcomes. Source: American Society for Microbiology

Defining 麻豆区’s Scientific Units

To create a successful mechanism for gathering collegial input and developing scientific priorities, 麻豆区 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.

麻豆区 Health


As part of 麻豆区's recently adopted strategic framework, the 麻豆区 Health unit will empower microbial scientists and partners to advance the field for the benefit of society. To do this, the 麻豆区 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 麻豆区 Health unit will inform 麻豆区’s programs and services to meet the needs of the community, expand 麻豆区’s reach and drive the future of the microbial sciences.
