Your global microbiology network is waiting to be discovered

Our recent survey shows that the AMI Member Directory is already proving valuable, with 73% of respondents indicating that they find it either very useful or extremely useful. The directory is helping members discover and connect with fellow microbiologists across the globe, with expanding professional networks and finding potential collaborators the two most popular reasons members said they use 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 member feedback to shape future updates and improve the experience for our members.
