Dear Prof./Assoc. Prof./Dr./Sir/Madam,

We are pleased to announce that the Malaysian Society for Microbiology (MSM), in collaboration with Monash University Malaysia will organize the International Congress of the Malaysian Society for Microbiology 2021 (ICMSM2021) from 29 to 30 September 2021. The meeting will be conducted virtually via ZOOM.

This year’s theme "Teaming with Microbes: Solutions for Mankind" highlights the importance of microbes in addressing emerging issues in medical, agricultural, industrial, food and various fields of microbiology. Classical to frontier technologies and platforms have been utilised to tap into the richness, diversity and capabilities of microbes to yield benefits to humankind.

The ICMSM2021 will showcase various recent topics in Microbiology by distinguished keynote and plenary speakers, as well as selected oral speakers. The ICMSM2021 is also introducing a 3-minute rapid oral session designed to showcase several exciting compact and concise presentations. The Congress promises an attractive scientific programme, with opportunities for networking and collaboration while providing a fusion of knowledge, technologies, ideas, and innovation.

We hope that you will join us on this endeavour to learn, connect, collaborate and strengthen fundamental, applied and translational microbiological research in Malaysia.
