The Philadelphia I&I forum is organized by the Student Chapter of the Eastern PA Branch of the American Society for Microbiology. This one-day event brings microbiologists, parasitologists, immunologists and virologists from the greater Philadelphia area to share their research, network among colleagues, and hear outstanding scientists present their cutting-edge research in many areas relevant to the discipline of microbiology. The event also hosts vendors from a number of biotechnology companies who provide sponsorship to the forum.  This year, Drexel University College of Medicine is hosting the event at the Queen Lane Campus.  

Online forum meeting registration for faculty is $40 and students are free(registration required).  We invite your students to present posters at the forum, and the deadlines are shown below.
