Microbiology  is a branch of biology that studies microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Microorganisms are found everywhere in the environment and play important roles in various processes, including nutrient cycling, bioremediation, and disease. Microbiologists in the Microbiology Department use a wide range of techniques and methods, such as culturing, molecular biology, microscopy, and bioinformatics, to study the structure, function, and behavior of microorganisms. They also investigate the interactions between microorganisms and their environments, including other microorganisms, animals, plants, and humans. The Microbiology Department plays a critical role in healthcare by identifying and characterizing microorganisms that cause diseases and developing new treatments and therapies. Microbiologists in this department work in clinical laboratories to identify and diagnose infections, as well as in research labs to develop new vaccines, antibiotics, and other therapies for infectious diseases.

      Research in the Microbiology Department is also focused on understanding the role of microorganisms in various ecosystems . Overall, the Microbiology Department plays a critical role in advancing our understanding of microorganisms and their impact on human health and the environment. Its contributions to healthcare, biotechnology, and environmental science make it a valuable addition to the scientific community.
