    Extractions: Early History of Microbiology The Early Days The science of microbiology started with the invention of the microscope. The English scientist Robert Hooke is credited with being the first person to use a microscope for academic study. That was in the early 1660's. In 1665 Hooke published his landmark book Micrographia , which described the microscopic world for the first time. Hooke studied plant sections, in particular cork and he drew what he saw, which was a matrix of tiny cylindrical-like structures he called cells . Later researchers saw such structures in all types of living organism and Hooke's naming remained. Today it is considered to be a foundation stone in the understanding of microbiology. (Left) A sketch of Hooke's microscope. (Right) No images of Hooke survive. Willen Church in Buckinghamshire, England, was designed by Robert Hooke who also discovered Hooke's Law and the Great Red Spot on the planet Jupiter. Meanwhile in continental Europe others, such as

    Extractions: [Home] department our history department faculty ... about TUFTS In 1968, the name of the department was changed to Molecular Biology and Microbiology to distinguish our emphasis on molecular genetic approaches to microbial physiology from more traditional ways of thinking about the subject. At that time, molecular biology was still a new science that pertained almost exclusively to bacteria and viruses. Park resigned as Chair in 1970, turning over the governance of the department to Elio Schaechter. Two appointments in the next five years increased the faculty to a small, highly cohesive group of seven who interacted well with each other. We have managed to maintain this spirit even as the department has doubled in size. We have done so despite our stylistic differences by seeking consensus and working together for the common good. Several department members began to take an active interest in microbial virulence mechanisms, realizing that their expertise in microbial genetics would serve them well in this field. Thus, Malamy took on the anaerobic pathogen

    Extractions: 979-845-2891 (fax) The mission of the Department of Biology is to provide high quality education in biological sciences to our students, to advance the body of scientific knowledge through scholarly research, and to provide technical and educational expertise locally, nationally and internationally. This mission can only be achieved through the recruitment, retention and support of the highest quality faculty, staff and students. The Department of Biology plays a central role in the university by providing fundamental lecture and laboratory courses introducing biological principles to students majoring in agriculture, architecture, business, engineering, geosciences, liberal arts, science and veterinary medicine. We also provide modern and comprehensive B.S. and B.A. curricula in Biology, Botany, Cell and Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Zoology for more than 1300 undergraduate majors. Our graduate programs prepare scientists for careers in academia, industry and government and play an essential role in enhancing an understanding of the central role of biological systems in the global environment. Our faculty also provide expertise outside the university in service on scientific advisory and editorial boards, in evaluation of scientific innovations and the importance of biological systems to society, and in helping Texas and the United States meet the challenges of the future.

The last change occured in 1997 when over 96% of the membership voted in favour of a change of name from "Society for Applied Bacteriology" to "Society for Applied Microbiology" Until 1991 the Society was run entirely by volunteers. Even when permanent staff were first employed in 1991, the Society had no permanent home.

But late in 2002 it became clear that the mere provision of static content no longer met the needs of the Society or the membership and so the present interactive, database-driven website was officially launched in June 2003. It has exceeded the expectations of members and visitors alike and we feel confident it will continue to serve the needs of the Society in the coming years.
