Welcome to the Caltech Student Chapter of the American Socieity of Microbiology (CaltechASM)!
Summary
CaltechASM was founded in 2021 to enhance and expand the microbiology knowledge and community on Caltech campus. Members will be able to participate in a wide variety of events, included lecture series of invited speakers to campus, Microbe Mixer socials, outreach events, and more! Along the way, we plan to interface with other microbe-centered groups on campus, such as the Center for Environmental Microbial Interactions (CEMI) to form campus-wide collaborations and share resources.
Our website is under construction! Please check back here regularly for more information on our upcoming events and projects, include a journal club, mentorship opportunities with undergraduate students, and more information about outreach and our lecture series.
