Agent TypeOrganisationHistoryThe Department of Bacteriology at the University of Melbourne dates from 1929 and a Chair was established in 1934, largely in response to medical and veterinary public health problems in Melbourne including waste and water quality. The School of Microbiology was established in 1965 when it moved from the old medical school building (now the southern part of the Potter Gallery complex) to the new medical complex near the corner of Royal Parade and Grattan Street, with a section at the Austin Hospital. The Department of Microbiology and Immunology was established in 1997 to teach bacteriology, immunology, virology and biotechnology.
