微生物学理学硕士

微生物学和免疫学系提供研究生课程，可获微生物学硕士学位。该计划的目标是使学生为微生物学和免疫学许多领域的科学职业做好准备。研究培训的重点是该系研究人员的主要主题：微生物发病机理，分子遗传学，微生物生理学，分子病毒学，肿瘤免疫学，细胞因子和免疫调节。这些研究计划为学生提供有关分子生物学和细胞生物学的最新实验方法的培训，这些方法适用于微生物学，病毒学和免疫学的重要问题。如果您是目前在罗切斯特大学（University of Rochester）入学的本科生，则应考虑申请BS / MS计划，该课程应在初三的春季
The Department of Microbiology and Immunology offers a graduate program leading to the Master's Degree in Microbiology and Immunology. The goal of our program is to prepare students for scientific careers in diverse areas of microbiology (including bacteriology and virology) and immunology. Research experience is coupled with graduate level coursework to provide broad-based knowledge that supports multidisciplinary interests and approaches to problem solving critical attributes of a scientist in our world today. <br>The M.S. program is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. During that time, our students engage in both didactic and workshop style classes, read and discuss primary literature together with faculty in journal clubs, and develop presentation skills by participating in research in progress forums. Students conduct research related to faculty developed projects, and gain practical training in conducting experiments and employing scientific approaches. In addition, professional development seminars and workshops offered through myHub within the Office of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs provide opportunities to practice and enhance necessary skills and explore options post-graduation.<br>Hand-on training in experimentation and critical thinking occurs while students pursue a project under the guidance of one of our faculty. Approximately 40 faculty members participate in the MS program, and have the potential to serve as mentors for thesis work. Students therefore have access to a diverse range of research opportunities spanning the three program disciplines, as well as opportunities in basic and clinical science laboratories.<br>Projects focus on the major topics of research faculty, including microbial pathogenesis, molecular genetics, virology, tumor immunology, immune responses, and immune regulation. The research experience offers students training in the latest experimental approaches applied to important problems in microbiology, virology and immunology, while providing a solid foundation for the next stage of their career. Work culminates in a written thesis, a formal seminar presenting the thesis project, and oral defense.
