Dear Friends,
Seasons Greetings from TMH, Mumbai! Wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year, 2026. At the outset, I thank EC members and all IAMM members for electing me for the post of Secretary of our prestigious association. It is my privilege and honour to work for the Indian Association of Medical Microbiologists as its Secretary. I seek the blessings of all senior members and best wishes from all members. I look forward to your support and cooperation in taking our association to greater heights.
My heartiest congratulations to our New President, Dr Chand Wattal, SGRH, New Delhi. I am looking forward to working together with him for the betterment of the association.
The 49th Annual Congress of IAMM, MICROCON 2026, organised by AIIMS, Nagpur, is going to be held at Nagpur, Maharashtra, from 28th October to 1st November, 2026. Nagpur, India’s Orange City, is known for it’s temples as well as nearby Tiger reserves. I encourage everyone to attend the conference as it is an excellent opportunity to connect with our professional peers. We are also expecting plenty of scientific presentations and a good deal of participation in the IAMM awards.
My humble request to all the IAMM members is to update their addresses and e-mail’s for better communication and request the state chapters office bearer to inform the activities of the chapter at the under mentioned address. I request all the Senior faculty/HODs in various Medical colleges/ Institutes/ Hospitals to encourage their microbiology colleagues working in their premises to become life members of IAMM and will also like them to interact with the clinicians frequently.
Kindly circulate this IAMM Newsletter among other members.

Dr. S. K. Biswas
