Microbiology
Major research themes/clusters
Research activity in Microbiology is carried out in three broad topics:-
1. Energy and environment
Microbes are being exploited for sustainable energy generation from renewable biomass and waste, e.g., biofuel cells, anaerobic digestion.
2. Marine
Marine microbiology underpins the study of climate change, marine productivity and diversity. NUI Galway researchers are studying the microbes that drive geochemical nutrient cycles.
3. Infectious diseases
All infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms. Research foci are; infection mechanisms, food borne illnesses, antibiotic resistance and diagnostics.
Subjects in this course are:-
- Molecular diagnostics
- Host-pathogen studies
- Microbial glycobiology
- Microbial diversity in aquatic environment
- Recombinant protein production
- Deep ocean microbiology
- Stress responses in food borne pathogens
- Food borne pathogen epidemiology
- Antibiotic and disinfectant resistance
- Applied ecology and habitat management
