Microbiology is a fascinating science of the microorganisms and its applications in human and environmental welfare. It covers a variety of disciplines, such as medical, clinical research, agriculture, environment, industrial, nanotechnology, pharma, chemical technology, food and dairy among others.

Microorganisms are undoubtedly present everywhere, and the fact that they have a wide range of environmental effects makes the research field exciting and captivating. The world has benefited from the development of dairy products, food technology, medications, valuable biomolecules, vaccinations, enzymes, and vitamins, among other things. Microbiology is a very popular topic in the fields of medicine, genetics, immunology, and food science for this same reason.

Microbiologists are in demand for the future battle against infectious diseases worldwide, understanding the environmental importance of microbes and to exploit them for food production, medical and industrial applications.

Most prestigious universities and colleges in India offering undergraduate and graduate programmes in microbiology itself speaks about its demand.

In its most basic form, biotechnology is simply technology based on biology; it uses cellular and biomolecular processes to create products and technologies that enhance both our quality of life and the health of the world. For almost 6,000 years, we have produced valuable foods like bread and cheese and preserved dairy products using the biological activities of microorganisms.

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary science that involves the application of scientific and engineering principles to enable processing of materials by biological agents, to provide an array of novel, value-added products and tools. These subject covers areas such as cell biology, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, genetics, immunology, recombinant DNA technology, biostatistics, biophysics and biochemistry.
