Energy and sustainability
Microorganisms are utilized for eco-friendly energy production using renewable biomass and waste materials, including applications like microbial fuel cells and biogas generation.
Marine ecosystems: Marine microbial studies form the foundation for understanding climate change impacts, oceanic productivity, and biodiversity. Our researchers investigate microorganisms responsible for biogeochemical nutrient cycling.
Pathogenic infections: All infectious conditions originate from microbial pathogens. Current investigations concentrate on disease transmission pathways, foodborne pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and diagnostic methods.
