Who are we? What do we do?

We are an interdepartmental collection of students within the graduate group in microbiology (GGM) at UC Berkeley who share a common interest in microbiology. We meet once a month and hold an annual symposium to celebrate microbiology graduate research. We also maintain a campus and community-wide presence through events like Cal Day which enriches our grad school experiences through outreach.

Our goals

1. Foster the professional development of microbiology students
2. Facilitate social interactions and networking in the field of microbiology
3. Serve communities through outreach

​We are an official Student Chapter of the American Society for Microbiology
