About the Department
The Department of Microbiology was established in the year 1996. The Department has been very consistent in producing top university ranks. The department has well equipped laboratories to catter to the UG, PG, and M.Phil students. Qualified and experienced faculties act as a backbone to the department in providing top quality education. The Department strongly believes that preparing students for the competitive world not only requires academic excellence but also to a great extent produce a morally and ethically sound students. To enhance exposure the students are encouraged for industrial visits, internships, project works and are motivated to participate in a whole panel of extracurricular and co-curricular activities. The key areas of research include nanotechnology, enzyme biotechnology, Pharmacology, herbal technology, Gene sequencing, Bio-plastics and many more.
Scope of Microbiology
Microbiology is a thriving field that provides good prospects for qualified workers. A concrete foundation of the science is needed. Microbiology majors purses courses such as Virology, microbial physiology, Immunology, General microbiology and Microbial Physiology, Microbial Genetics, Molecular Biology.
Microbiologist will be needed by many companies, from chemical companies to food producers, to was sent product quality and production effectiveness. To find more clean sources of energy, microbiologists will be involved in industries which research and develop alternate energy sources such as biomass and biofuels.
Further microbiologists are needed in agriculture to help in developing genetically engineered crops that gives superior yields and involve very minimal use of fertilizers and pesticides. Several opening in public health and avenues to preserve environment are open for medical Microbiologist and Microbial ecologists respectively. Microbiologist are on the cutting edge of research in hospitals, clinics, Industries, Universities and Governments.
