Everett C. Pesci, Chair

The primary missions of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology are research and teaching revolving around the education of students in pursuit of the MS, PhD, and MD degrees. Programs are multi-disciplinary by nature and we offer students research opportunities in a broad range of disciplines, including bacterial and viral pathogenesis, cancer biology and cellular immunology. Students will find the program intellectually challenging yet comfortable with easy access to faculty and a favorable faculty to student ratio that fosters daily interactions. We provide a unique research environment for students where they learn the basic tools needed to succeed in biomedical research and which encourages the development of independent thought as they pursue more advanced training during the completion of their dissertation research projects.
