The passers are from the BS Biology program under the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education (CASE), now continuing under the College of Medical Technology (CMT). The program carries on under CMT with updates to its structure, strengthening its place within the health sciences.
Also recognized is Ms. Johanna Rachelle San Pedro, Research Associate at the University Research and Development Center (URDC).
The RMicro designation is granted by PAM to those who meet the required academic and professional standards in microbiology which qualifies them to work across areas where microbiological expertise is applied.

The Certification Examination for Registered Microbiologists was held on January 17-18, 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Aura in Taguig City.

Congratulations to our newly registered Trinitian microbiologists!
