For all the true geeks out there, the 19th July is Pharmig\u2019s 30th anniversary. It falls on a Monday so any celebrations may be more mocktail than a true Pharmig concoction but it really is worth acknowledging. When we reflect back on what we have accomplished over the last 3 decades, our 30th anniversary really is a landmark achievement. We are proud of our organisation and its capability to host large international conferences bringing in professional speakers from across the world as well as our commitment to be a centre of excellence and development for microbiologists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pharmig was originally established by a microbiologist (Poly Hajipieris) who realised at the time there was no group that\u00a0 specifically dealt with the interests and needs of pharmaceutical microbiologists. An inaugural meeting was held in July 1991 and in an open debate, the attendees unanimously agreed that the existence of an interest group in pharmaceutical microbiology<\/a> would be very useful and so Pharmig was born.<\/p>\n

We have come a long way since those humble beginnings and have kept the needs of microbiologists at our centre. Much like fungi in a petri dish<\/a>, Pha<\/span>rmig has grown significantly since 1991. Our focus is on continual professional development and to act as a unique network for the exchange of microbiological information through training courses, conferences, publications and its website forum. Here are some of the other incredible opportunities we offer:<\/p>\n
