Graduate Programs
-
The Department of Microbiology participates in two NIH funded interdepartmental Ph.D. graduate training programs: the Immunology Training Program and the Host-Pathogen Interactions Training Program. In addition to faculty in the Department of Microbiology, faculty in a variety of departments within the medical center participate in these programs, including faculty in various sections of the Department of Medicine, Pathology and Biochemistry, as well as departments in the School of Public Health and the Dental School. Our goal is to provide rigorous training to exceptional students in a supportive and collaborative environment and to prepare them for a career in research science. Students in these graduate programs participate in formal coursework, seminars and journal clubs, and directed research in the broad fields of microbiology and immunology, including focuses in host-pathogen interactions, immune regulation, molecular virology, and prokaryotic molecular biology.
