微生物科学
Welcome to 微生物科学
Microbiology is a fundamental biological science concerned with the study of microbes, which are microscopic organisms such as bacteria, 古生菌, 藻类, 真菌, 原生动物, 和病毒. Despite being unseen, microbes are critical to all life on earth. 随着微生物学家, we seek to harness the awesome power of microbes to enhance humanity while controlling their negative impacts as agents of disease, 腐败, 和分解.
Microbiology covers a wide spectrum of specialized interest areas in human and animal health; food, 能源, and water security; the environment; and 生物技术. Technological innovations have made microbiology one of the fastest moving and important scientific disciplines in the 21st century, impacting virtually all other scientific disciplines. 自1910年以来, approximately one-third of the Nobel Prizes in medicine and physiology have been awarded to microbiologists.
我们的 教师 offer expertise in nearly all areas of microbiological study, and take part in active research programs in their fields. We pride ourselves on a well-rounded 教师, who engage routinely in internal and external collaborations at the local, 状态, 联邦层面, as well as with private industry. 除了, our 教师 contribute regularly to a rich and innovative body of peer-reviewed research, publishing in inter国家ly renowned journals and speaking at conferences around the world. They also provide fulsome mentoring experiences at all levels of study, with opportunities for students to take part in cutting-edge research in 国家ly-funded laboratories.
We empower our students to discover and communicate microbiological solutions to local, 国家, 以及全球挑战.
我们的 students find careers in a range of industries, 包括健康科学, 生物医药行业, 生物技术, 农业生物系统, 食品行业的, 医药行业, 以及政府机构. The relevance of microbiology to many fields only continues to grow, and graduates with a background in microbiology can look forward to using their knowledge in employment as teachers, 教授, public health professionals, 研究人员, 兽医, 还有很多其他职位. Within each of these realms, numerous 职业选择 exist for students with a microbiology degree.
We are excited to have you visit us and see for yourself all the opportunities at NDSU.
