Program Details Of B.S (Micro Biology) 4 Years
Program Name: B.S (Micro Biology) 4 Years
Introduction:
The Department of Biology is well aware of the fact that this is the era of scientific revolutions. Microbiology, which is parallel to molecular biology as well as biotechnology, is an emerging scientific field. Lots of work is being done at international level but Pakistan is still behind in this field. The trained manpower well versed with laboratory techniques and disease diagnostic facilities is limited in the country.
Keeping this thing in view, the Department of Biology has launched four years BS Program in Microbiology from the semester Spring, 2009. This Program is designed to:
� Provide skilled laboratory personnel for catering general public needs.
� Provide research atmosphere for the support of laboratory facilities.
