History of the department
The Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology was organized in September 2022.
The department was organized under the leadership of DM, Professor Saidbek Sattorov, who currently heads the department.
Educational and methodological work
Every year, before each academic semester, a plan of lectures and practical classes for students of all faculties is draw up and approved by the Vice-Rectors for Academic Affairs of the university.
Modern methodological approaches to teaching and control are widely used in lectures and practical classes. The methods of conducting practical and lecture classes are constantly being improved.
To improve the quality of educational and methodological work and the level of knowledge of students, the department compiled and published methodological recommendations and manuals on microbiology, virology and immunology for students of all faculties in the state, Russian and English languages.
Work programs (Syllabus) for all faculties in Russian, Tajik and English have been developed and approved.
There is a sufficient selection of educational materials for mastering the subject in both Russian and Tajik languages. These are the main textbooks: “Microbiology, Virology and Immunology” (edited by L.B. Borisov) and other publishing houses of the Russian Federation in Russian language; textbook “Microbiology, virology and immunology” (general part) in Tajik language compiled by DM, Professor S. Sattorov.
