Greetings from IAMM Delhi Chapter!

On behalf of organizing Executive Committee of IAMM-DC we feel privileged to welcome Clinical Microbiol-ogists and other esteemed delegates to participate in the “MICRO-D-CON 2017” being held between 7-9 December 2017 at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Microbiology is a rapidly evolving field with advances

occurring every day. Keeping this in mind the theme of this year’s 9th Annual confer-ence is “Current Trends in Microbiology : Meeting the Challenges”. All Clinical Mi-crobiologists of the region eagerly wait for this event to show case their scientific re-search in the areas of clinical microbiology, immunology and infection control. The meeting provides unique opportunity for understanding and assimilating expanding knowledge in the field and help participants to exchange ideas and create networking among various microbiologists. Like preeding years, IAMM DC Executive Committee is organizing a preconference CME on “Microscopy to Microarray: Reducing time to diagnosis” on 8

th December

2017 in Gulmohar Hall at India Habitat Center (IHC). This CME intends to take our microbiologists friends on an exciting journey from microscopic techniques to rapid and automated diagnostic techniques.

Every year IAMM DC organizes hands-on wet satellite workshops to give our budding micro-biologists a hands-on and a real exposure to the cutting-edge technologies. This year too these workshops are being organized on 8

th December, 2017 at various institutes of repute.

These workshops will focus on advances in surveillance of nosocomial infections, syndromic approaches and Flow cytometry amongst other recent technologies. The Annual conference inauguration and banquet will be held one day prior to the Conference, i.e. on 8

th December, 2017 evening at IHC. We request the august presence of all our delegates. The in-

augural session will begin with oral PG presentations. The conference will end with the annual GBM on 9th December 2017. Wishing you all happy bonanza of academic feast and request the active participation of our delegates to make it a grand success. Dr. Sonal Saxena Dr N.P.Singh
