M Sc (Microbiology / Virology)
By Institute of Bioscience & Technology
- Program: Postgraduate (PG)
- Duration: 2 Year(s)
- Intake: 20
Program Outline
- The program involves the study of medical and molecular aspects of bacteriology, virology, mycology, epidemiology and management of infectious diseases. It prepares the students for a career in biomedical/ clinical sciences, academics and industrial research.In simple terms, it is study of small living things that cannot be seen without the use of a microscope, such as microorganisms or microbes. The program aims to provide advance education and research in microbiology/Virology that can offer sustainable solutions for agriculture, environment and energy sectors.
- Molecular biology is the study of the basis of life, focuses on the structure and function of DNA, RNA and protein and their interactions with each other.
- This knowledge has led us to understand molecules within viral, microbial and eukaryotic organisms and has been at the forefront of scientific discovery since the identification of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in the 1950’s. It is responsible for new and exciting techniques to detect and treat disease, produce drugs and vaccines, and uncover further the path of evolution.
- This Master’s course responds to the demand for highly skilled scientists who can identify defects in cellular systems at the nucleic acid level and conduct genetic modification of organisms which allow a greater understanding of cellular function. Such insights and innovations are already responsible for the development of new diagnostic tests, novel products, therapeutic agents, detection of biomarkers, identification of faulty genes and subsequent correction of those defects.
- Our group enterprise projects, which involve close collaboration with entrepreneurs, provide a great opportunity for you to stand out from other graduates.
