As one of six basic science departments in the School of Medicine,
our Department contributes to the educational programs of the School
of Medicine and the Graduate School and offers the Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D.
degree in Microbiology.
Our research programs, supported by public and private funding
agencies, cover a variety of topics within the following themes:
• bacterial physiology and pathogenesis
• immunology and host defense mechanisms
• viral oncogenesis, pathogenesis, and vaccine development
Funding also provides support for pre- and postdoctoral trainees
and visiting scientists, as well as for hosting national and international
researchers in the Microbiology seminar series.
We hope you find this website a useful portal to further information
about life in the department, our graduate program as well as our
research projects.
Thank you for visiting!
