Data for this analysis were collected from Scopus-Expanded using the search terms "Microbiology in India," "Molecular Biology in India," and “Immunology and Microbiology in India” for the specified years of 20102020. A total of 14,616 records were gathered for this research. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Chandigarh ranked first with the highest publication count (339). Medicine emerged as the leading subdiscipline, followed by Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Microbiology. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India, was responsible for funding the most publications in this area, taking the top spot among funding bodies. The Journal of PLOS ONE was identified as the most favored journal for researchers in this domain, with Scientific Reports following closely. }, }
