I have HND in microbiology/virology. I applied for membership in NISLT I got registered as a licensed associate member of the institute finally I got a job in a general hospital as a laboratory technologist. NB: This is 2023 and NISLT have stopped registering Microbiology graduates except you graduated with SLT |

Shammak:What you are talking about is pure microbiological procedures. Cosmetic products are pure chemicals and I don't think microorganisms are involved. Moreso,, how do I get an anti- infective products from Escherichia coli or Candida albicans to cure the diseases caused by them with counterfeit laboratory equipment, unstable power supply(ofcourse I need a microscope) etc and things I would need are not at my disposal. Not to talk of funds.... you think microbiology is a cheap course to practise 1 Like |

microb: Pororo Environmental microbiologist University of ibadan (BSc), .........., ........ Yes, a university (post doctoral researcher) There's hope for microbiologists. Its an important discipline with many facets in d world. Its unfortunate that lab technicians are usurping our positions in hospitals. This is due to d fact dt they're paid less compared to those with d microbio degree itself. In addition, medical micro is hot cake outside d country but as this thread is abt d way forward for microbiologists in 9ja, i will advice dt once u have a first degree in micro, find ur way outside d country or else, simply get an extra certificate in another field to survive. But as i mentioned earlier, opportunities r plenty for microbiologists outside d country (especially in Manitoba, Canada ). Cheers 1 Like |

A microbiologist is scientist who studies microscopic organisms and how they interact with their environment. Microbiologists study the structure, function, chemistry, evolution and ecology of microbes to find ways of applying them to benefit mankind in areas such as agriculture, food production and medicine. A microbiologist should be curious, analytical, methodical, patient, persistent and safety-conscious, and have the ability to handle and operate scientific equipment. They should also be able to communicate effectively and work well independently and in a team. Famous microbiologist include Anton Van Leeuwenhoek ( early description of protozoa, fungi, and bacteria), Louis Pasteur (germ theory), Robert Koch (Koch’s postulate), Ferdinand J Cohn (classification of bacteria), Paul Ehrlich (cure for syphilis), Alexander Fleming (penicillin), and Francis Peyton Rous (first experimental prove of virus causing cancer). Pursue a career in microbiology if you have aptitude for science and interest in microorganisms and their effects. You should be someone who enjoys doing laboratory experiments and working with a microscope. What does a Microbiologist do? Microbiologists may do some or all of the following: perform research and experiments study microorganisms to identify their features, function and uses study microorganisms growth, development, and reproduction study microorganisms and observe their reactions to chemical and other kinds of stimuli study the distribution of microorganisms in nature use scientific equipment such as microscopes, centrifuges and computers develop useful applications of microorganisms to benefit mankind write research articles and reports teach at colleges and universities source: http://careersome.com/biological-and-physical-sciences/microbiologist.html |

Coldfaya: When an elder speaks its takes another elder to understand where he's coming from. I can relate with this insightful post. After having read Microbiology I discovered to my utmost dismay that there was a standing order that Microbiologist have no business in a laboratory in Nigeria. They will rather employ Science Laboratory Technologists. I can count the number of Microbiologists I know that are well paid. I met one of my colleagues and she is now working in a bank. 1 works in Guiness.1 got first class and was retained as Graduate Assistant Lecturer. Others business or just there still carrying CV up and down after over 6 years of completing service. Microbiology is overated especially in Nigeria.Yet every year you see people filling Microbiolgy as a course as if their father built a company. Unless you are exceptionally good in Microbiology and ready to get first class. Your chances in working in a Microbiogy field and being paid well is just 15% Last Bullet: Most of these institutions offering Microbiology should be shut down. During my time we were over 150 students in our level. You will cry during practical seeing 15 students clustered around a petri dish. Most end up copying practical answers. I can count the number of Microscopes we had then.Not more than 3 highest. Some ended up not using Microscope except during 6 months IT.Those that learnt something did it during IT or like a friend and colleague who volunteered to help a lecturer who has his own laboratory where she learnt a lot even how to collect blood sample to test HIV etc I feel like crying remembering all. 2 Likes |
