The Microbiology Alumni Students Interaction Forum (MASIF) of the Department of Microbiology at Gargi College, University of Delhi is a sub-union of GERMS involved in the department’s alumni relations. We have organized and hosted several webinars and interactive sessions to bring the students, alumni, and faculty together on a common platform to participate in engaging interactions.
