The Global Microbial Identifier initiative consists of people participating in the annual meetings and/or in the 4 working groups and steering committee, and the initiative is deeply dependent on their active involvement.
To ensure continuing involvement and progress in the GMI initiative, the steering committee now asks everybody, who wishes to participate as an active member in one or more working groups to accept the charter and sign up for membership. As an active member you will participate in one or more working groups.
See description of the 4 working groups.
Read more about our work in the Charter and Structure document (pdf).
To register as a member, please fill in the form on this webpage.
If you do not wish to become an active member, but wish to become a follower and receive newsletters with news, invitations to meetings and general information, please sign up for newsletters by using the form at the bottom of the page.
See GMI roadmap from May 2016: GMI working group status/work plan
GMI working group statusGMI envisions a global system of DNA genome databases for microbial and infectious disease identification and diagnostics. Such a system will benefit those tackling individual problems at the frontline, clinicians, veterinarian, etc., as well as policy-makers, regulators, and industry.
By enabling access to this global resource, a professional response on health threats will be within reach of all countries with basic laboratory infrastructure.
