Student Scientific Club of Microbiologists “Bakcyl”

The Student Scientific Club of Microbiologists “Bakcyl” at the Department of Genetics and Microbiology was established in 1968 and reactivated in 1997 after a long break. At the end of 2021 SKN “Bakcyl” has been moved to the Department of Industrial and Environmental Microbiology. Currently, it has over a dozen members. The activity of the Club focuses on issues of modern microbiology, molecular biology, and biotechnology.

Main goals and tasks of the Club

• stimulation of students’ scientific interest
• implementation of research projects
• participation in investigations conducted by research staff
• improvement of the laboratory workshop

The members of the Club are involved in the organisation of cyclical events popularising knowledge and promoting the Faculty, e.g. Biologists’ Night, UMCS Open Doors, or Lublin Science Festival. The students also organise scientific workshops for primary and high school students.
