Microbiology Society
The Microbiology Society (previously the Society for General Microbiology) is a learned society based in the United Kingdom with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools. It is the largest learned microbiological society in Europe. Interests of its members include basic and applied aspects of viruses, prions, bacteria, rickettsiae, mycoplasma, fungi, algae and protozoa, and all other aspects of microbiology. Its headquarters is at 14–16 Meredith Street, London. The Society's current president is Prof. Judy Armitage. The Society is a member of the Science Council. History The society was founded on 16 February 1945 as the Society for General Microbiology. Its first president was Alexander Fleming. The Society's first academic meeting was in July 1945 and its first journal, the ''Journal of General Microbiology'' (later renamed ''Microbiology''), was published in 1947.

Anthony Trinci
Anthony "Tony" Peter John Trinci (1936, Swindon – 7 October 2020) was a British mycologist, botanist, and microbiologist. He was a leading expert on fungi. Early life and education Anthony P. J. Trinci's parents, both born in Italy, had a troubled marriage and separated before his birth, which occurred after his mother immigrated to England. His father, a builder, lived in Italy, and Anthony Trinci reached the age of 11 before he saw his father. Anthony Trinci grew up in Barking, London. During WW II, a V-1 flying bomb passed through his bedroom (while he was absent), brought down the ceiling, but failed to explode until it landed about 100 yards down the road and killed several people. Educated at St Bonaventure's Catholic School, Trinci studied botany at Durham University (1959). He was a member of St Cuthbert's Society. He stayed on to complete a MSc, where his research focus was fungal physiology. Trinci was a science teacher in Rayleigh, Essex for a period of time but soon ...

Robin Weiss
Robert Anthony "Robin" Weiss (born 20 February 1940) is a British molecular biologist, Professor of Viral Oncology at University College London and a member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. Research His research has focussed on retroviruses, initially as a means of understanding T-cell leukemia and other cancers, which may be caused by retroviruses. A break-through discovery in 1971 was that the retroviral genome in chickens follows the rules of Mendelian inheritance.Arlene Judith Klotzko.Robin Weiss: Relentless retrovirus researcher. '' The Scientist'' 2002, 16(21):60. Later his work moved on to HIV, also a retrovirus, and made several new important discoveries, most notably identifying CD4 on lymphocytes as the binding receptor for HIV. Career Before becoming professor at UCL, Weiss was director at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, from 1980 until 1989, after which he continued as director of research for a further nine years. Until 2005, Weiss was editor-in-ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stanley "Stan" Falkow (January 24, 1934 – May 5, 2018) was an American microbiologist and a professor of microbiology at Georgetown University, University of Washington, and Stanford University School of Medicine. Falkow is known as the father of the field of molecular microbial pathogenesis. He formulated molecular Koch's postulates, which have guided the study of the microbial determinants of infectious diseases since the late 1980s.Falkow S (1988). "Molecular Koch's postulates applied to microbial pathogenicity." ''Rev Infect Dis'' 10(Suppl 2):S274-S276. Falkow spent over 50 years uncovering molecular mechanisms of how bacteria cause disease and how to disarm them. Falkow also was one of the first scientists to investigate antimicrobial resistance, and presented his research extensively to scientific, government, and lay audiences explaining the spread of resistance from one organism to another, now known as horizontal gene transfer, and the implications of this phenomenon o ...
