National
Scientific Advisory Committee (NSAC)p
The plenary and symposia programs have been developed in
consultation with the National Scientific Advisory Committee
(NSAC) of the Australian Society for Microbiology (ASM).
NSAC is an Advisory Group to the Australian Society for
Microbiology - one of their primary roles is to provide breadth,
continuity and relevance in the scientific content of specialist
and annual scientific meetings in collaboration with the
conference Scientific Program Committee together with all active Special
Interest Groups and Standing Committees of the Australian
Society for Microbiology.
