Department of Microbiology

The Department of Microbiology seeks to provide quality education to students for leadership roles in the global community of the 21st century. We strive to provide our students with a solid academic foundation for further educational opportunities, and the knowledge and skills for career opportunities upon completion of education. We seek to integrate into student's program of study the development of skills including critical thinking, problem solving, written and oral communication, and laboratory research techniques. The curriculum for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Department of Microbiology includes a broad background and education in the Basic sciences, including Bacteriology, Virology, Phycology, Mycology, Immunology, Recombinant DNA Technology, Genetics, Biochemistry etc. In addition to coursework, postgraduate students perform independent research projects with individual faculty members. Beside, this we have three well equipped and furnished laboratory (two medical & one general microbiology laboratory) for undergraduate and postgraduate students. The laboratory is equipped with microscopes, spectrophotometer, incubators, laminar flow cabinets, ELISA reader, thermal cycler, electrophoresis equipment, Gel documentation system, centrifuge, hot air ovens, refrigerators, autoclaves and water purification system. The faculty is committed to innovative and rigorous teaching at all levels. Not only are they academically and professionally amongst the best, but have high standards of moral and ethical values, so that they can be true role models. We believe that a more knowledgeable public will be able to make more informed decisions with regard to scientific issues that impact their lives.
