Your global microbiology network is waiting to be discovered
Connecting microbiologists across borders and disciplines is at the heart of the AMI Member Directory. Designed to help members share expertise, build professional relationships and find new opportunities, the Directory is already proving valuable. Our recent survey found that 73% of respondents find it either very or extremely useful, with expanding professional networks and finding potential collaborators the two most common reasons for using it.
The Directory is awesome. It brings members with common interests together globally in a simple and friendly way.
Improvements to the Directory are coming soon, and members have also highlighted further opportunities, including UX improvements, more complete profiles, enhanced search functionality and collaboration features. We’ll continue to use this feedback to inform future updates and make the experience even better for our members.
