Awards
The Society of Protozoologists, founded in 1947, is an international organization with members in over 40 countries. The fields of our members include broad aspects of protozoology/protistology including cell biology, ultrastructure, morphogenetics, biochemistry, physiology, behavior, molecular biology, genetics, parasitology, chemotherapy, systematics, ecology and evolution of protists. The aims of the Society are to foster the association of workers for the presentation and discussion of new or important facts and problems in protozoology and for the promulgation of such measures as will foster the development and advancement of the science of protozoology and eukaryotic microbiology.
