Sathaye College - Microbiology

The Microbiology department has started on 4th August 1981 under the leadership of Smt B S Kudva. Mrs. Bhatiya, Mrs. Mohrikar, Mrs. Limaye were other pillars of the department. Department provides undergraduate degree course in Microbiology. In the academic year 2015-16, a fresh new team of teachers were appointed, enriching the department with immense hard work and sincerity under the able guidance of Mrs. Bharati Kudva. The current team compromises of Dr. Shilpa Jadhav, Dr. Amita Kocharekar, Ms Snehal Dabhade and Ms Priyanka Naik. Microbiology scholars are trained through subject related environmental projects, summer training programmes, industrial visit etc apart from academics. Department has started with an event named 'Microfiesta' in 2014 to encourage student's creative ability through scientific model making competition.

Microbiology is study of micro organisms. Bacteria, yeast, fungi , viruses are studied under this subject. Microbiology is versatile subject whose applications ranges from Industrial, Pharmaceutical Medical, Genetics, food and dairy etc. Research, teaching , medical testing, food testing , quality control, quality this subject. Thus students pursuing the subject get absorbed in areas of Fermentation industries, Vaccine production , Clinical data management, Medical institutes, Agriculture and Research institues Biotechnology and pharama industries.
