Education & Training Programs
The teaching mission of the Microbiology & Immunology Department is to provide the best possible training programs in the areas of microbiology, immunology and related fields for:
Our approach is holistic in that we are constantly considering the entirety of the system we study, be it the pathogenesis of an autoimmune disease (perhaps microbially triggered) or a pathogen-produced virulence protein that reprograms gene expression in an infected cell. We study diverse topics to provide trainees, staff and faculty a better understanding some of the most interesting and complex interactions in biology
We know that all of us are both student and teacher, whether first year undergraduates or senior faculty. Teaching and learning are our constant companions in the classroom, the lab, the ward or the office. We are committed to undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training. It is the intermixing of able, passionate learners at all levels and from diverse backgrounds that provides our real strength. M&I offers a large number of formal courses as well as practical training and mentoring in the lab and clinic.
