What Members Say

“When I started my research in the field of plant-microbe interaction, it was a logical step for me to join IS-MPMI. IS-MPMI offers an information and communication platform for scientists from all over the world to present their work in journals and meetings. It thus keeps me in touch with the recent developments and evolving research in this field.”
Susanne Zehner; University of Technology, Dresden; Dresden, Germany

"I joined IS-MPMI in November 1999, when I started my career as a Ph.D. student. I believe that the IS-MPMI Congress is an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss with other research fellows of the international plant-microbe interactions community. The IS-MPMI Reporter and the MPMI journal serve as a communication mechanism to easily keep up-to-date with the exciting research opportunities in our field and to show the progress in this area. I strongly encourage new graduate students, postdoctoral, and other research scientists who are not members to join IS-MPMI and take advantage of a very energetic group of people!"
Dimitrios I. Tsitsigiannis; John Innes Centre; Norwich, United Kingdom

“I joined IS-MPMI in 2001 and have been a member since then…The research on different strategies that plants and pathogens employ to counteract each other, and the application of so many technologies and approaches for study, makes this a great field and community to be involved with.”
Suma Chakravarthy; Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research; Ithaca, NY, U.S.A.

"I have been a member of IS-MPMI from its inception and have tried to attend most of the biennial meetings organized by the Society. I find that, even though the members have diverse backgrounds, they share a common interest, and I find the opportunity to interact with them very stimulating and rewarding. These meetings have become important in remaining connected to the field. The journal published by IS-MPMI has grown in stature over the years, and I am delighted to have had the opportunity to publish our work in it. I think IS-MPMI has a bright future."
Suresh S. Patil; University of Hawaii; Honolulu, HI

"Although I have been a member of several plant science societies over the years, my true home is IS-MPMI. I keep renewing my membership because IS-MPMI offers the right mix of colleagues, exciting science, and attractive locations for biennial congress"
Sheng Yang He; Michigan State University; East Lansing, MI
 

"Membership allows me to keep in touch with important information in my research area, including online access to the MPMI Journal. This journal is one of the most relevant journals for my work."
Gillian Higgins; The University of York; York, UK

 

"As a member of IS-MPMI, I have appreciated receiving the IS-MPMI-Reporter. It has helped keep me informed about scientific meetings, the career paths of other society members, and international science initiatives. Membership has also provided online access to MPMI, since our institution does not have a library subscription to this journal. I consider access to MPMI absolutely essential for my research!"
Kathryn Jones; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Cambridge, MA

"It has been gratifying to see how IS-MPMI has developed from an informal gathering of scientists interested in a common subject to the vibrant organization it is today, with its own highly regarded and successful official monthly publication. In large part, the resounding success of this organization reflects the phenomenal growth of the field of molecular plant-microbe interactions."
