Meeting experts in molecular and structural biology from all around the world will be one of the experiences I am looking for at ASM Microbe 2018. Apart from that, I have great interest in antibiotic and vaccine study which for sure I could learn about the topics by meeting experts in such fields at ASM Microbe 2018.” — Mohd Zulkifli Salleh, ASM-FEMS Mäkelä-Cassell travel Awardee 2018
