Departmental Profile

Department of Microbiology

1) From the desk of Head

Microbiology department is a part of Horizontal Mobility concept. Various courses

offered by department are M. Sc., M. Phil., and Ph.D. in microbiology. Department has also

started M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Microbiology course from 2016. Under these courses students

are given exhaustive training and basic knowledge of microbiology, biochemistry, biostatistics,

bioinformatics, molecular biology, immunology, fermentation technology, drug designing, IPR

and quality control. This helps to get placements for students nationally and globally. Students

are supported by scholarship/fellowships from university, government and other national funding

agencies. Department has essential infrastructural facility to perform high quality research in

microbiology. Department is actively involved in research activities. Faculty members and

research students of our department have published more than 150 research papers in high

impact factor peer reviewed journals. One of our research papers published in Cell Biochemistry

and Biophysics journal has been cited in the prestigious Cell journal. Department has received

funding of Rs.110/- lakhs from different funding agencies. Department is involved in

collaborative research work with national and international reputed institutes/universities.

Department has organized several national conferences/workshops/seminars. Department has

started health awareness programme as a best practice for nearby villagers. Thus, department is

committed for high quality teaching, research and extension activities in the field of

microbiology.

2) Brief History of Department

Department of Microbiology is established in 2005. Initially, department has shared the

infrastructural facilities of biochemistry and biotechnology departments. M.Sc. Ist year syllabus

is common as per horizontal mobility concept. From June 2008, department has introduced new

subject; bioinformatics for M.Sc. II year students. In February, 2011 department has shifted in its

own building. Student‟s interest and need of pharmaceutical industry prompted us to start new

M.Sc. Pharmaceutical Microbiology course from June, 2016. In order to fulfill the infrastructural

demand of this new course, university authorities have stared extension of our existing building

from March, 2019. Department has well established infrastructure facilities for teaching and

research, which was supported by Shivaji University as well as other funding agencies. Since the

inception of the department, our faculty members and research students have produced more than

150 international quality publications in highly reputed journals. Department students are also

getting very good success in NET, SET, GATE and ILETS examinations. Our students are

getting very good placements in multinational companies, research institutes,

universities/colleges, and health department of Government of Maharashtra, etc. Few of our

students have set up their own pharmaceutical company and few are working as post doctoral

fellows at national/international level. Students and faculty members of our department are also

actively involved in social activities such as tree plantation, Rankala lake clean movement, etc.

3) Vision

Lead the world towards healthy practices

4) Mission

Enhance the scope of the department in order to cater to the needs of the community and

society by laying a major emphasis on praxis, utility and applicability of microbial

systems.

5) Core Values of Department

Facilitate better teaching and learning processes.

Generate vigour and research aptitude between the teachers and students.

Understand microbial processes in detail at molecular level.

Create trained work force to help industry and there by society.

6) Academic Programs

7) Outcome based education:

a) Program Educational Objectives

Practice microbiological knowledge for better health.

Create students who will achieve peer recognition by demonstrating good

analytical skills.

Prepare graduates to contribute society as broadly educated, expressive, ethical

and responsible citizens with proven expertise

b) Programme Outcomes

POs M.Sc. Microbiology:

This course is based on competitive development of students in learning interdisciplinary

subjects such as Biochemistry, Quantitative Biology, Genetics, Microbiology,

Biostatistics, Bioinformatics with computer orientation and Biophysical techniques. The

program intends students to read, understand original publications and envisages

significant inputs in laboratory work, communication skill, creativity, planning, execution

and critical evaluation of the studies undertaken.

POs M.Sc. Pharmaceutical Microbiology:

Microbiological techniques are being extensively used in pharmaceutical industry. So,

there is a continuous demand for microbiologists in the work force of pharmaceutical

industry. This course will help to provide basic understanding related to microbiological

tests carried out in the pharmaceutical industries.
