Formation of MiRON

How MiRON was formed

After completion of our bachelor degree in microbiology we (Amrit Acharya, Bandana Subedi, Basudev Paudyal, Madhav Jnawali, Prabin Shakya, Upama K. C., Founder Executive Member of MiRON) all have been to the central department of microbiology, Tribhuvan University in Jan 2007 to pursue our master degree. As others we also had the some sort of anticipation and motives to do something in our field. After studying 2 more months in CDM-TU we came to know the importance of research in the field of microbiology and we decided to ponder in this. In the beginning we all were vacant and had no idea at all what to do and how to proceed. Some days later we decided to explore the antimicrobial potential of different toothpastes. Different advertisement seen in media about potential efficacies of toothpastes has engrossed us to choose this as our subject matter. Selection of topic was done after consulting our seniors and we moved here and there for the laboratory work. Finally on the reference of Mr. Kiran Babu Tiwari (Research Scientist RLABB) we meet with Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Prasad Agrawal (Executive Director, Research Laboratory for Biotechnology and Biochemistry, RLABB). Meeting with these two cherished superior people we were really encouraged and our proposed project got shape and we started work under the supervision of honorable Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Prasad Agrawal, Mr. Kiran Babu Tiwari and Mr. Upendra Thapa Shrestha. Then we successfully completed the research work entitled ‘The Assessment of Antimicrobial Potential of Different Toothpastes against Oral Isolates’, in research laboratory for biotechnology and biochemistry (RLABB) from May 2007-July 2007. 

Later Dr. Sushil Koirala (President Nepal Dental Association, NDA 2006-2008) under his continuous stimulation, motivation and Dr. Anjana Singh (Associate Professor, Central Department of Microbiology, Tribhuvan University) guidance, lunch a project on oral health etitled “ Prevalence of Dental Caries, Impact of the Toothpaste and Other Factors on the Oral Health of the School Children of Kathmandu valley” from Dec 2007 - May 2008. The entitled project was under the collaboration of central department of microbiology, Tribhuvan University (CDM-TU) and Nepal Dental Association (NDA). After working together more than one year in research field, we sense to make a strong unity among us and make a definite goal along with long term perspective in the authorized way. Thus we organized and registered in the district administration office of Kathmandu in 27th May, 2008 and social welfare council (SWC) in 3rd June 2008 as microbiological research organization Nepal (MiRON). MiRON is a non government, non political and non profit making scientific research organization and has objectives to conduct research in related field. MiRON is delighted to be first such research organization in the field of microbiology in Nepal. Now MiRON is moving along with various research projects by working together with various institutions, organizations, research centers, various hospitals, colleges and colleagues as well.
