Microbiology scientific council for complex problem-solving
The Microbiology Scientific Council for Complex Problem-Solving operates in accordance with Orders of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 21/63 dated February 26, 2003 and No. 94/537 dated October 31, 2003, and with Resolutions of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences No. 150 dated June 17, 2009 and No. 233 of October 6, 2010. The Council was established on the basis of the former Scientific Council for Microbiology under the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Medical Science, which was established in 1976, and the Interdepartmental Scientific Council for Microbiology, which was established in 1993, and subsequently – the Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Medical Science and the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia for Microbiology.
