Department Microbiology Chair: Dr. Craig J. Oberg Location: SL 302M Telephone Contact: Carrie Minnoch 801-626-6949 Professors: Glenn W. Harrington, Craig J. Oberg, Mohammad Sondossi; Associate Professor: Karen G. Nakaoka; Assistant Professor: William Lorowitz IVIicrobiology is the study of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and protozoa) including their structure, metabolism, distribution, and ecological relationships. Knowledge gained by microbiologists leads to a better understanding of molecular-level life processes and to beneficial applications in agriculture, industry, and medicine. The field is expanding, with special emphasis being given to genetic engineering, biotechnology, cell culture, disease and the immune response, production and storage of food, research and development and quality assurance of industrial products, disposal and detoxification of wastes, and the monitoring of environmental quality.
