分子微生物学和免疫学哲学博士

过去的几年是我们部门空前发展的令人兴奋的时期，新的教职员工增加了病毒发病机理和免疫学方面的创新研究计划，以及细菌致病机理的研究以及与外科和生物工程学部门的新合作关系。新的研究人员在自身免疫，对病原体的先天和后天免疫，肿瘤免疫疗法，针对病毒和细菌发病机理的治疗试剂的设计以及微生物遗传学和生理学的基本原理等领域的现有优势方面进行了补充，我们的教职员工已扩展至28个核心以及相关职位极大地增加了研究生和博士后科学家的培训和研究机会。此外，通过将来自联邦机构，私人研究基金会和生物医学行业的资金增加一倍以上，它已在过
The department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (MMI), in partnership with the faculty from the department of Veterinary Pathobiology (VPB), offers the Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutics Graduate Program (MPT) leading to a PhD degree. The comprehensive graduate program provides individualized training that is strongly oriented toward basic research in molecular and cellular biology, immunology and host-parasite interactions. Graduates who complete this training are prepared to pursue challenging and rewarding professional careers that involve research and teaching at supervisory levels in both the academic and private sectors. Students are selected for admission into the MPT program based on their potential to conduct high-quality, independent research. To be considered, application packets must be completed by December 5. The admissions committee will continue to review completed application packets for fall enrollment based on the amount of funding available. To be considered for admission, applicants must have submitted a completed application packet and have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. All graduate students accepted into the MPT program are financially supported while they are making acceptable research progress. Graduate students who are not supported by fellowships receive stipends of 26,000. Tuition and health insurance fees for residential/nonresidential students are waived for all qualifying full-time graduate students in MPT. Students are responsible for paying incidental fees (recreation facility, student activity, student health fee and information technology).<br><br>Duration - 5.5 Yrs
