Recipients of the Pasteur Award

The Pasteur Award was established in 1948 to publicly recognize individuals who have made significant and outstanding contributions in the field of microbiology. Eligibility is not limited to members of the society or to Illinois residents. The Illinois Society for Microbiology is proud to present this award each year at the fall meeting at our fall Pasteur Award meeting and dinner.

The 2007 Pasteur Award winner is:

Patrick R. Murray, Ph.D.
