Medical Microbiology and Parasitology is one of the core subjects in Pathology. It is a rapidly evolving specialty in this era of molecular biology and technology. The department forms a bridge between the basic sciences and the clinical sciences with respect to infectious diseases and their agents, by introducing the basic principles and applied clinical skills relevant in the areas of Parasitology, Bacteriology, Mycology, Immunology and Virology.
Due to the wide scope of the course, the main objective of the department is to introduce and emphasise pathogenic mechanisms in such a way that the average student develops enough confidence to solve clinical problems in their respective careers.
