The MPhil/PhD programme in microbiology is focused primarily on applied research in areas particularly related to environmental science & management, plant health & nutrition, drug discovery from microbial metabolites, and genetic diversity & development of diagnostic systems for human pathogens. The programme is supported by modern microbiology and molecular biology laboratories. Additionally, there are strong collaborations with international partner institutes that allow access to state of the art laboratory facilities. Most of the research projects have a strong focus on microbial genetics, genomics, metagenomics and proteomics; microbial biotechnology and plant-microbe interactions.
