Our Mission is:
  • To train graduate students in how to perform independent research, to interpret and communicate  scientific findings, and to prepare grant proposals and scientific manuscripts.
  • To educate future physicians in the disciplines of Microbiology and Immunology so that they can be prepared to provide excellent care to patients.
  • To discover and publicize new knowledge in the fields of Microbiology and Immunology.
  • To provide service to our institution, profession, and community.

Our faculty members maintain NIH-funded research programs directed at understanding important issues related to viruses, bacteria, and the immune system.  We are experiencing an unprecedented expansion, including the addition of new faculty members, the doubling of our postdoctoral program, the award of more than $22.9 million by an NIH grant to establish and maintain the Center for Molecular and Tumor Virology, and the growth of our nationally recognized training program for graduate students. 

   

The Microbiology & Immunology Department welcomes our new Graduate Students for 2023!
