Binford-Dammin Society of Infectious Disease Pathologists
2010-2011
The Society was formed in 1988 in association with the US-Canadian Academy of Pathology, and named in honor of Drs. Chapman H. Binford and Gustasve J. Dammin. Infectious disease pathology has a long legacy, originating conjointly with Medicine itself. Over the last century, “tropical diseases” have more traditionally been associated with Infectious Disease pathology, but the whole array of bacteria, parasites and viruses are now applicable. With the causual association to both infection and cancer, infectious disease pathology has taken a place in the modern synthesis of biology, genetics, and molecular biology.
