Welcome to the Western Australian Branch of the Australian Society for Microbiology.

We are a dynamic not-for-profit professional assocation that collaborates with our parent organisation, the Australian Society for Microbiology, to advance the science of microbiology in Australia.

The branch is coordinated by a volunteer member committee dedicated to providing professional development, information and networking activities specificially for our Western Australian members.

The ASM-WA actively seeks to keep our members up-to-date via our calendar of events, awards & scholarships.

Your involvement is vital in ensuring the ASM-WA continues to meet the needs of its members. We strongly encourage your participation by visiting our website and becoming involved in the activities of the association. Please also follow the West Coast Microbiome Network to keep up to date with their yearly meeting.
