About

The inception of the Department of Microbiology was in the year 1988. Since then, the department has made remarkable progress and has grown in considerable ways. Since its inception, the department has been offering a three-year undergraduate programme in Microbiology with various combinations, currently we are offering state of the art combinations with Biochemistry, Biology (BCYM); Biochemistry Zoology (BCMZ); Chemistry, Biotechnology (CMBT) and Chemistry, Biology (CMBY).

In 1998, a postgraduate programme was instituted. Both the programmes are well designed keeping in mind the practical, theoretical, and research skills required. Under each programme, we offer a broad spectrum of courses that enable students to critically think, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. The programmes are taught by highly qualified faculty with excellent credentials, international exposure and are engaged in active research.

The Department of Microbiology aims at identifying one’s potential to become a centre for augmenting and contributing continuously to the vibrant field of Microbiology. We strive to create and provide an ambient learning atmosphere and prepare students for academia, industry and entrepreneurship.

The associations of the department are Microcosm – managed by the undergraduate students and Microbiological Society run by the students from the postgraduate section. The associations aimed at holistic development of all its members, making the pursuit of life sciences fun and exciting. Over the years, the associations have organized numerous seminars, hands-on workshops, webinars and fests, all intricately linked to Microbiology

At the School of Life Sciences, St Joseph's University, we believe in the power of asking questions. Questions that stem from observing and pondering about the world around us, questions about biomolecules and ecosystems, questions that continue to nurture curiosity, imagination, and a spirit of exploration. Our mission is to spark a lasting interest and joy in learning, discovery and research, while equipping students with the skills and confidence to excel in academia, industry, and society. We strive to create an environment that is intellectually engaging, collaborative, and supportive - one that helps every student to continue asking interesting questions, and forge meaningful paths.
