The FEMS-ASM Mäkelä-Cassell Travel Award supports the reciprocal exchange of one member from each organization to present his/her research at the other organization’s main conference. It has been designed to benefit early career scientists from both organizations by giving them the opportunity to present their work overseas and experience the best of microbiology in the partner country.

ASM will select the member attending the biannual FEMS Congress and FEMS will select the member attending the ASM General Meeting occurring in intermittent years.

This year, ASM has selected Suparna Mitra to attend the World Microbe Forum occurring in 2021. She presents her iPoster on Modelling Antibiotic-Induced Dysbiosis at the World Microbe Forum. Many congratulations!
