Bangladesh Society of Microbiologists
Bangladesh Society of Microbiologists (BSM) is an association of Bangladeshi Microbiologists.
History
The Bangladesh Society of Microbiologists (BSM) was established in 1976 by a few researchers and intellectuals from Bangladesh. From the period of its establishment, it has emerged as the largest association of intellectuals and researchers in Bangladesh.[1][2][3]
The founder president of the society was Major General M. R. Choudhury (Mahmudur Rahman Choudhury) who died on June 24, 1999.[4] Under his able leadership, BSM over a short period of time succeeded in creating awareness about the importance of Microbiology in Bangladesh amongst those who matter. As a result, the University of Dhaka created a full-fledged Department of Microbiology.[5][6]
