Molecular Microbiology provides an interface between academic
molecular biology and real world applications in human
health care and the environment. Modern molecular microbiology
is already an exciting reality. The faculty of the Department
of Microbiology have research interests and expertise
that cover all aspects of the interactions of microorganisms
with humans, animals and the environment, ranging from
the molecular basis of diseases and antibiotics to commercial
enzymes, from immunobiology and cancer to pollutant biodegradation
and environmental remediation, from life at 100 C at the
bottom of the ocean to photosynthesis, from fermentation
and food protection to waste treatment. Research projects,
financed by federal, state, industrial, and private sources,
by over $4 million per year, result in more than 50 research
articles, reviews and books each year. |
