Applied and Environmental Science

The Applied Environmental Science (AES) track fosters broad understanding and collaboration between 10 sub-tracks, based on a fundamental, shared interest in how microbes work in diverse environments. The AES track is designed for scientists with a variety of backgrounds in the basic sciences, engineering, public health and food production. Topics include basic and applied microbiology in soil, food, lakes and oceans, drinking water systems, deserts, urban population centers and other built environments.

ASM Microbe offers a unique opportunity to showcase your research to a community of microbial science professionals. It is a platform to engage with industry leaders, peers and potential collaborators while contributing to the growing body of knowledge in microbial sciences. Whether you are presenting a poster or delivering an oral presentation, selecting the right track or session is crucial for the visibility and impact of your research.
