Microbiology

Microbiology is a branch of biology that includes the study of growth, characteristics and various other aspects related to the life cycle of microbes such as protozoan, algae, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Apart from examining the specimens, microbiologists also explore the relationship of micro organisms with other creatures and their consequence on the life of human beings. Microbiologists play a significant role in the society, as they are the people who conduct research on the positive as well as negative effects of microorganisms on humanity. Gene therapy techniques are also developed by microbiologists in order to find solutions for genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and inherited cancers. Microbiologists conduct research on various topics like interaction between pathogenic microbes and host cells in various institutes or universities. Due to the advancement in the field of science and technology, the scope of research in the field of microbiology has widened. As a result, people who have studied science as the main subject (in 10+2 or graduation) opt for building their career in the field of microbiology.

I think that’s a responsibility that I have, to push possibilities, to show people, this is the level that things could be at. So when you get something that has the name Kanye West on it, it’s supposed to be pushing the furthest possibilities. I will be the leader of a company that ends up being worth billions of dollars, because I got the answers. I understand culture. I am the nucleus.
