The ASM Global Research Symposium Series is Supported by ASM Journals, the ASM Mechanism Discovery Unit and Sponsors
ASM Journals
ASM Journals publishes trusted, peer-reviewed research across the microbial sciences, guided by global experts who ensure fair and rigorous evaluation. As a not-for-profit, ASM upholds high standards of ethics, integrity and author-focused practices, providing a strong platform for research presented at this symposium.ASM is a signatory of India’s One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative, expanding nationwide access to its journal content for researchers and institutions.
ASM Mechanism Discovery Unit
To create a successful mechanism for gathering collegial input and developing scientific priorities, ASM has established 3 scientific units organized around key scientific disciplines—ASM Health, ASM Applied and Environmental Microbiology and ASM Mechanism Discovery.
ASM's Mechanism Discovery unites researchers across disciplines to advance curiosity-driven discovery of the molecular mechanisms that govern microbial life and interactions across scales. Aligned with ASM’s strategic roadmap, the unit integrates expertise across fundamental processes, dynamic interactions and evolutionary mechanisms.
It champions research spanning microbial physiology, host–microbe interactions, genomics, computational modeling, microbial evolution and more, providing foundational insight that underpins advances across the microbial sciences.
