Microbiology Outlooks
Aims and scope
The Microbiology Society’s vision is a world in which the science of microbiology provides maximum benefit to society. Reflecting the vast diversity of microbes, the wide array of fields of microbiology research intersect with many other disciplines across the natural and social sciences.
Our understanding of microbiology and its application is imperative for tackling some of the greatest challenges facing humanity, from the threat of emerging diseases and antimicrobial resistance, to food security and the energy transition. We recognise that these challenges cannot be tackled without cooperation, and that microbiology research must be strong, diverse and vibrant to do so.
In the 80 years since its founding by visionary microbiologists including Alexander Fleming and Marjory Stephenson, the Microbiology Society has bought together groups of microbiologists for knowledge exchange and collaboration. Microbiology Outlooks aims to help realise the Society’s vision by facilitating discussion and collaboration between researchers across all disciplines of microbiology, policymakers, and practitioners, so that our growing understanding of microbes can be applied in ways that bring public benefit to society as a whole.
Microbiology Outlooks publishes authoritative reviews and perspective pieces across all disciplines of microbiology and intersecting fields. Published articles will provide timely overviews of important topics and discuss the direction of future research and the wider impact of the science of microbiology and its application.
