Mission Statement

The mission of the Missouri Valley Branch of ASM is to foster interaction among microbiologists in Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. We are a topically diverse group of researchers, and we welcome participation from scientists interested in any area of microbiology.

Meetings

We sponsor an annual meeting each year in March or April. The branch meeting features presentations by faculty, post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students from throughout the region. The meeting is very student focused and provides an excellent venue for graduate and undergraduate students to present their research and interact with researchers from other institutions. Information about this year's meeting can be found on the meetings tab.
