Department of Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The Department of Microbiology at EGSP NYMC provides students with a deep understanding of the role of microorganisms in disease and health. This department is essential for understanding infectious diseases and public health.
Our department is equipped with a modern microbiology lab where students are trained in various microbiological techniques, including staining, culture methods, and biochemical tests. We emphasize the importance of sterile techniques and the body's natural defense mechanisms against microbial invasion.
