Program/ Course outcomes

M.Sc. Time table:

The Department of Microbiology runs a   full time two-year program of four semesters , leading to award of Masters of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Microbiology. The curriculum is designed to train the students in basic and advanced areas of Microbiology, keeping in mind the latest advances in the field.  Particular emphasis is laid on the practical aspects of the field. Students are taught how to plan experiments, perform them carefully, analyze the data accurately, and present the results both, qualitatively and quantitatively. To enable them to develop speaking and presentation skills they are encouraged to deliver seminars on a wide range of topics covering the different areas of Microbiology. This also  leads them into reading about different themes and enhances their assimilation abilities. A major component of their course is a research project they work on in their final semester.  The student is guided in choosing a research problem, executing experiments related to it, collecting data and analyzing it, and presenting the results in the form of an oral presentation as well as a thesis. The student presents his/ her research orally at the end of the semester, and this is coupled to a   viva-voce . This not only equips the student for a career in research/ industry, but also fosters self-confidence and self-reliance in the student as he/she learns to work and think independently.

The program includes four semesters of course work. The students are offered basic and advanced level courses in Microbial Diversity, Microbial Physiology, Virology, Immunology, Enzymology, Environmental Microbiology, Microbial Pathogenicity, Molecular biology, Microbial Genetics, Recombinant DNA technology, Industrial Microbiology and Food Microbiology, and Bioinformatics. The Second Year students work on projects under the supervision of the different faculty members and submit a dissertation at the end of their training.

Admission criteria for MSc (Microbiology) :

Merit and Entrance test based

Number of seats:   

Fifteen for academic year 2021-22.

Scheme of evaluation:

The M.Sc. Microbiology Program is of two years’ duration and is divided into two parts, Part I and Part II. Each part is of a one-year duration and consists of two semesters. Semesters I, II and III have a uniform course structure. In each of these semesters the students are required to study four theory papers of 100 marks each (four credit courses), and one practical paper of 200 marks (eight credit course). One of the four theory papers in Semester II is an Interdisciplinary paper offered by another department

Semester IV consist of only one theory paper of 100 marks (four credit Interdisciplinary paper), and a dissertation paper of 500 marks. The students are required to start working on their dissertation at the beginning of Semester III and continue till the end of Semester IV. For the dissertation paper, the students are evaluated by continuous assessment, dissertation/ thesis, oral presentation and   viva-voce . This evaluation is done during and at the end of Semester IV.

Thirty percent of the marks of all theory, practical and dissertation papers are reserved for continuous internal evaluation: Internal Assessment (IA). Each theory examination is of three hours durations and practical examination is of 16 hours duration (8 hours + 8 hours) over two days.

Research summary slide.

This is the part where you introduce your research topic. Be clear and concise. Which branch of microbiology your study focuses on? What is your research about? How do your findings solve the problem? Sum up all of this is in a single paragraph that gets your audience interested in your microbiology research.

Microbiology lab slide

Explain your research methods in a simple mind map diagram. Here you can place the object of study in the center and use the branches for the microbiology techniques applied. This slide is ideal to translate complex microbiology techniques into an easy-to-understand visual language.

Charts for microbiology research

Bar charts are effective tools to display and compare different sets of data. Use the five stacked bars to support your research key points or conclusions. You will be able to graph up to four data sets and add a few lines to explain your quantitative data.

Microbiology icons

The microbiology research template comes with little icons of lab instruments such as microscopes, conical flasks, test tubes, and more.

Text and image

Don’t rely on text-filled slides to present your research. Document the process of your research through images and add them to the Microbiology PowerPoint template.

"24Slides helps us get PowerPoints on-brand, and improve overall design in a timeframe that is often “overnight”. Leveraging the time zone change and their deep understanding of PowerPoint, our Marketing team has a partner in 24Slides that allows us to focus purely on slide content, leaving all of the design work to 24Slides."

Gretchen Ponts

Strata Research

"The key to the success with working with 24Slides has been the designers’ ability to revamp basic information on a slide into a dynamic yet clean and clear visual presentation coupled with the speed in which they do so. We do not work in an environment where time is on our side and the visual presentation is everything. In those regards, 24Slides has been invaluable."

"After training and testing, 24Slides quickly learnt how to implement our CVI, deliver at a high quality and provide a dedicated design team that always tries to accommodate our wishes in terms of design and deadlines."

Editor's Notes

• Specify the A vs B test with an example (tumor no tumo Nice to know this, even if from a sig proc point of view they are just a matrix of numbers, it-s useful to know where do they come from and what they measure! Microarrays as a platform to measure the expression of genes in a sample. They measure thousands of different expression simultaneously Each measure, to simplify, quantifies how much a gene is being used by the cell. Being used means activated or expressed, Non expressed means that a gene is not being used by a cell or organisim Now… why are these important Hope with genomic data to have a picture of all the genes in a cell, which are more used by tumor or those that are switched off by a tumor. Idea is that these measurements can help identifying relevant genes that change between subgroups (tumor vs nontumor for example)
• What actually microarrays measure to know gene expression and why Central dogma DNA – RNA – Protein Measure RNA = gene is being copied to RNA a lot because its protein is needed. Gene activity proportional to RNA measured quantity Of course it-s not so easy but that-s how it works
• 2 classes say what they are: Example tumor vs Nontumor Start with the problems: What are they: Noise Lack of structure -> dont know who’s really a neighbor , no regularity Sample scarcity and high dimensionality
• Opportunities Why signal processing can be used and why our thesis in this field Microarrays are a useful and usd tool for clinical research -> no
• Don’t say 2x feature selection needed, just needed anyways Ejemplo de multiclass: multiple classes of a lymphoma for example or comparing several tumor classes Two-step approach Feature set enhancement Addresses lack of structure Addresses noise Aim is to generate new variables with less noise by grouping genes that behave similarly across the samples Feature selection & classification Choose the best variables among thousands available with new algorithms
• Two-step approach Feature set enhancement Addresses lack of structure Addresses noise Aim is to generate new variables with less noise by grouping genes that behave similarly across the samples Feature selection & classification Choose the best variables among thousands available with new algorithms
• Say that we want to produce a structure where it doesn’t exist Say that we want metagenes to group similarly behaving genes so that we can reduce noise by averagin out similar ones Say that the output from this phase will be a p genes + p-1 metagenes
• Describe quickly the iterative process. Focus on two key aspects Similarity metric: decides who gets merged with whom Metagene generation rule : decides how the merging process is We sudied variants for both of the key parameters Haar vs PCA a Euclidean vs Treelets
• Say how the algorithm itself is iterative, Meaning that at each step it actually trains classifyiers on the training set and evaluates them on it in terms of a fitness score J It’s flexible
• Give something more about reliablity Defined with the sample distance respect to the boundary Then have final slides with formulas
• Say why ensemble method can be interesting
• Ensemble methods can be interesint because they limit overfitting risk by voting with monodimensional classifiers They have been successfully used in other fields of machine learning and also in computational biology and bioinformatics
• Say why the process is this one The relevant samples are those on which the experts agree the less so the impact of removing one expert will affect more.
• Justify tie break rule by saying that the highest nodes are less reliable since they merge more and more genes.
• A slide to say that we also studied several Kun variances and that, that number can go up tu 0.555 ? Or we don’t say a thing about that?
• Talk here about the data sources of MsigDb that are high quality and reliable sources Talk about their form and the challenges it implies for the metagenes (binary to continuous valued variable)
• Say why ECOC base on redundancy and error correcting algorithms They work in communications The same assumptions cannot be made here and some algorithms don’t work the same Actually none work the same otherwise we would have perfect classifiers  Experiments done wit h LDPC coding with very good results in communications and some improvements in Microarray classification We want to take the idea of redundancy but not using random algorithms with no connection to the nature of the phenomenon Our bet is that using a easy and reasonable rule to define experts can lead to better results Our rule is to use a common used OAA and add redundancy by grouping class pairs and separating from the rest Well, idea is that class pairs are more likely to exist than bigger groups (this can be questionable but we wanted to try this)
• To drive feature selection and elminate early unreliable alternatives Itnegrate from other sources with natural language processing for example or import several data
