DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY is an academic and research-focused unit dedicated to understanding and teaching the biology, behavior, and control of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Blending rigorous laboratory training with translational research, we equip students and collaborators with cutting-edge techniques, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving skills to address infectious disease, antimicrobial resistance, and public health challenges. Our hands-on curriculum and multidisciplinary partnerships ensure graduates are prepared to advance science, inform policy, and protect communities.

We prioritize scientific rigor, ethical responsibility, and curiosity-driven discovery—committing to reproducible research, transparent communication, and the highest biosafety standards. We are dedicated to mentorship and inclusive education, nurturing diverse perspectives and practical skills so every learner can contribute meaningfully to diagnostics, surveillance, and treatment innovation. Above all, we serve communities with integrity and urgency, translating microbiological insights into actionable solutions that safeguard health and inform evidence-based decision-making.
