The master program of microbiology in Sichuan University was established in 1995, and the doctoral program was approved in 2000. After years of continuous development and growth, it has formed a clear and stable research direction, formed its own characteristics and advantages, and become an important microbiology research base in the western region. This major has four research directions: resource microbiology, microbial molecular biology, microbial biotechnology and industrial microbiology. Recruit master's and doctoral students.
There is a young scientific research team with profound academic attainments, strong scientific research ability and reasonable age structure. There are 8 professors and associate professors 10, including 8 doctoral supervisors (associate professors Yang, Wang Hongning, Qiao, Zheng, Gao Ping) and 8 master supervisors 18. There are 4 academic and technical leaders in Sichuan Province, among which young people under the age of 45 account for more than 80% of the total, and 90% have doctoral and master's degrees, forming a scientific and technological team with young and middle-aged scientific and technological personnel as the main body. It also has a number of advanced instruments and equipment, such as automatic microbial identification instrument, fluorescence inverted microscope system, automatic fermentation tank, freeze dryer, high-speed centrifuge, ultra-high-speed centrifuge, multiple analytical liquid chromatographs (HPLC), biosafety operation cabinets, gas chromatography/mass spectrometer, PCR instrument, fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument, ultra-low temperature refrigerator and so on.
In recent years, this discipline has undertaken more than 80 horizontal contract research projects of countries, provinces, ministries and enterprises, with research funds of more than 52 million yuan; Representative achievements have been made in the collection and application of macrofungi resources, prevention and control of agricultural pests and diseases, prevention and control of animal diseases, rapid diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis, and research on drug resistance mechanism. Nearly 400 scientific research papers have been published in important journals at home and abroad, including SCI/Medline/EI papers 157. He has won many provincial and ministerial scientific and technological achievement awards 10, authorized 9 invention patents, applied for 24 invention patents, and preserved nearly 4,000 microbial strains.
