Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
The American Academy of Microbiology (AAM) is an honorific leadership group within the American Society for Microbiology that is committed to promoting microbiology. This organization 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 January 25, two Institut Pasteur scientists were elected as Fellows of the Academy: Simonetta Gribaldo, Head of the Evolutionary Biology of the Microbial Cell Unit, and Roland Brosch, Head of the Integrated Mycobacterial Pathogenomics Unit.
