About

Microbiology is the study of unicellular or cell-cluster micro-organisms. Microbiology is a broad term comprising of many branches like Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology, Parasitology and others. The department provides comprehensive lab support to the teaching staff. The diagnostic labs provide quality lab services catering to the teaching and research needs of the medical college and hospital. Along with these activities, the department is also involved in implementation and monitoring of certain policies and guidelines related to infection control and waste management by way of formation of antibiotic policies, defining disinfection and sterilization protocols and evolving methodologies of safe disposal of biomedical waste in the hospital etc.

The Department of Microbiology was started in the year 2011. The Microbiology Students Laboratory is fully equipped for training the undergraduates and postgraduates in the basic principles of Microbiology. The practical laboratory can accommodate 80 students at a time. There is one well-equipped departmental library with books of more than 120 titles and well-equipped demonstration room with audiovisual aids, like OHP and LCD projector, which accommodates 60 students. The department has an upgraded museum with color charts, models, plates and specimens. Also, there is one state-of-the-art research laboratory, attached to the department for research work by postgraduate students and staff members.
