An Institut Pasteur scientist elected to Fellowship in the American Academy of Microbiology
The American Academy of Microbiology (AAM) is an honorific leadership group within the American Society for Microbiology that is committed to promoting microbiology. It is entirely dedicated to microbiologists and to microbiology as a scientific discipline.
AAM Fellows are elected annually through a highly selective peer-review process, based on their records of scientific achievement and original contributions that have advanced microbiology. Being elected as an AAM Fellow demonstrates recognition of the excellence of a scientist's research.
On February 16, an Institut Pasteur scientist was one of 65 new Fellows elected by the AAM: Frédéric Barras, Director of the Department of Microbiology and Head of the Stress Adaptation and Metabolism in Enterobacteria Unit.
