WELCOME TO MICROBIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

“Microbiology - diagnosing the world of microbes challenging mankind”

Microbiology as a discipline of Medicine has received pivotal importance with implications in diagnosis and management of pathogens over the years.

The Department of Microbiology took its own identity in NRS Medical College from the year 1992.

The journey following more than three decades encompasses teaching by experienced faculties and accolades earned by both undergraduate students of the institution and post graduates of Microbiology.

The Department caters to a large section of the society in diagnostic services and aids in challenging therapeutics thus combating the menace of Anti Microbial resistance worldwide.

The Department is equipped with a state of the art seven service laboratories. Molecular laboratory started functioning with the testing of COVID19 by RT PCR since the onset of the global pandemic.

The Department has followed the latest NMC curriculum in training young minds and the faculties have played a balanced role of mentors, academicians and researchers.

Together as a team, the Department will continue on the pathway of advancement in the field of diagnostics in modern Medicine.

The Department of Microbiology pledges to excel in all its endeavors and carry forward the legacy of excellence of this prestigious Institution.
