DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

The department of Microbiology was established in 1984. The thrust areas of the Department include Antimicrobial resistance, extracellular enzymes of microbial source, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, Antibiotic producing bacteria, Microbial degradation of Xenobiotics, probiotics, bio-preservation of food stuffs, Cyanobacteria bio-remediation, and clinical microbiology. The Department offers courses on General Microbiology, Microbial diversity, Agricultural microbiology, Environmental microbiology, Industrial microbiology, Food microbiology, Immunology, Medical microbiology, Microbial genetics, Fermentation technology and plant Pathology. The Department provides ample scope to students and faculties for academics and research. The class size is kept large enough to provide a vibrant learning environment but small enough to allow close interactions between the faculty and the students. Postgraduate students in the Department gain valuable research experience through research project, which is practical training of the subject, offered as a part of the course curriculum. The department is well-equipped with modern laboratories to provide quality teaching and research opportunities for students.

Vision and Mission

1. Education for all.
2. To provide advance quality education and knowledge to all.
3. To develop a sense of community feeling among the students.

Goals and Objectives

To promote high-impact education and innovative research in a diverse and inclusive environment by exploring fundamental concept in Microbiology and Nanotechnology, and to translate discoveries into therapies against infectious diseases.
