DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY
The Department of Microbiology was established in the year 1999 with under-graduate programmes. Post-graduate programme in Microbiology was introduced in 2004, with sophisticated equipments and state-of-art laboratory facilities. The department has well furnished laboratories with all basic and advanced facilities to cater to the needs of the students.
The UG and PG Microbiology course is designed to provide students with training and research experience that will prepare them for a wide range of careers in pure and applied sciences. Microbiology degree programmes are need oriented and cultivating adequately trained human resource in Microbiology for academic, industry, research and health sectors. Microbiology is an important interdisciplinary science integrating both basic and applied aspects of biological sciences.
Our Microbiology department hosts an array of major laboratories which include; Immunology laboratory, Virology laboratory, Bacteriology laboratory, Molecular Biology laboratory. All the laboratories have expertise, state of the art infrastructure to carry out practical and research project activities. Microbiology department with specific thrust areas of research ideas and fuels active discussion and interdisciplinary and translational research.
The department has well qualified staff members with the mission of producing intellectually motivated, scientifically advanced young community. The department has produced several university-rank holders. Our alumni are spread across the world in leading positions.
Our vision is to promote good quality education; to provide adequate knowledge on current and emerging trends in Microbiology and to produce highly qualified and competent individuals in all areas of the Microbiology.
