Microbiology courses can help you learn about microbial physiology, genetics, and ecology, as well as the roles of microorganisms in health and disease. You can build skills in laboratory techniques like culturing, staining, and microscopy, along with data analysis for interpreting microbial behavior. Many courses introduce tools such as PCR machines, bioinformatics software, and various types of microscopy, that support conducting experiments and analyzing results in real-world applications.
