today. Ancient systems of medicine such as Ayurveda in India led to the introduction of gold salts. Invention of the microscope paved the way to the birth of microbiology‚ unfolding infective‚ and later inflammatory diseases‚ cellular pathology and immunology. Progress in therapeutics was slow and physicians and rheumatologists had to borrow drugs from other medical disciplines‚ for example antimalarials and cytotoxics. The Nobel Prize-winning discovery and development of cortisone was a major landmark

Since my second year of university‚ I am step by step finding my way to be the professional I want to be in life. Since I was a child‚ I was always told my only career choice in science was to be doctor in medicine and with that thought in mind I entered the University of Puerto Rico in Ponce. I love science‚ and that’s why I started a career in Biomedical Sciences. However‚ a turn of events showed me that there is more in life and there are alternative careers in sciences other than being a doctor

Microbiology is a field of science which typically is divided into several areas such as: bacteriology‚ virology‚ parasitology and immunology. The goal of microbiology is to increase the specific knowledge of a known microorganism and by extension counter the spread of harmful microorganisms and to learn practical applications of research results. A microbiologist studies the structure‚ metabolism‚ genetics and ecology of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi or algae. A microbiologist
