The Department of Microbiology plays a crucial role in medical education and patient care by focusing on the study of microorganisms and their impact on human health. It equips students with the knowledge of bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, and immunology, helping them understand infectious diseases, diagnostic methods, prevention, and control strategies. The department not only supports academics but also provides diagnostic laboratory services and contributes to public health initiatives through infection control and research.
