Studying the biology of microscopic organisms like viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi, slime molds, and protozoa is known as microbiology. These tiny, largely unicellular organisms are studied and handled in different ways than most other biological entities. The branches of microbiology include:
Introductory Microbiology, Microbial Physiology and Metabolism, Biological Chemistry, Recombinant DNA Technology, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Essential Bacteriology, Basics of Virology, Medical Microbiology, Agriculture Microbiology, Industrial Microbiology, Analytical Techniques, Immunology, Microbial genetics and Molecular biology, Food Microbiology, Molecular Cell Biology and Cancer, and Environmental Microbiology.
If you want to begin a research career and perform investigations in the microbiology field after your master’s, you can find fellowship opportunities listed here.
Find a PhD in microbiology and its related areas in the UK, USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia, New Zealand. Microbiology PhD programs, scholarships, research projects, fellowships, courses, and positions are available in European countries, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, etc. Here you can also find studentships, courses, offers, and fully funded opportunities, for international students.
