Hyderabad, June 27, 2025 (Maxim News): Marking 50 years of academic excellence, the Department of Microbiology at the University College of Science, Osmania University, launched a dynamic Microbiome Awareness Campaign on Friday in honor of World Microbiome Day. Themed “Microbiome for One Health,” the campaign underscored the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health through the lens of microbiome science.
The celebration commenced at 10:45 AM with a formal inauguration by Prof. G.

In his speech, Prof. Prabhakar emphasized the vital role of microbiome research in addressing global challenges related to healthcare, climate change, and sustainability.
Interdisciplinary Outreach and Engagement
