About the Department

The Department of Microbiology, Dr Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University, Lucknow, is a premier centre for study of microbiological research. The Department was established in the year 2015 with an intake of 40 students in M.Sc. Microbiology (50% seats are reserved for physically challenged students). With a view to encourage research based teaching and applied learning, a world class infrastructure has been established in the university campus. The Department has contemporary infrastructure with a team of highly motivated faculty in the area of Microbiology. In M. Sc. Microbiology, students get acquainted with various fields of Microbiology like Industrial, Agricultural, Molecular, Environmental, Medical, and Food & Dairy Microbiology etc. We are in progress of developing a well-equipped research laboratory. One DST sponsored project entitled “Cloning and characterization of natural killer enhancing factor (NKEF) gene and its expression after adjuvant or Immunostimulant vaccination in Indian major carp Labeo rohito” is going on in the Department.

Our vision is to find solutions to the global challenges with one of the efficient consortium of microbiologists around the world.

Our Mission : The mission of the Department is to provide avant-garde research and teaching in Microbiology.

Future Plans : The department is going to start Ph. D. and various training programmes for M.Sc. students very soon. There is also a proposal to develop a Research Laboratory of international level to serve as a centre of Microbiological research in the capital of Uttar Pradesh.
