微生物学和免疫学理学学士

Dalhousie的微生物学和免疫学计划将帮助您了解细菌和病毒的致病潜力以及免疫系统的反应。微生物学是对诸如病毒，细菌和寄生虫之类的微生物及其在我们生活中所起的作用的研究。免疫学是人体如何保护自己免受导致传染病和肿瘤的微生物的研究。这包括对免疫疾病的研究，例如炎症性肠病（IBD），多发性硬化症（MS）和哮喘。在这两个程序中，您都将与作为传染病，癌症生物学，炎症和宿主-病原体相互作用的专家和活跃研究人员的教员一起学习。
Microbiologists study microorganisms and viruses. Among other things, immunologists want to know how larger organisms (such as humans) respond to foreign objects, many of which are very small. These two disciplines are thus inextricably linked. Studying them together means you’ll be widely prepared for future career opportunities.<br><br>If you thrive in a smaller campus environment, consider doing the first year of your degree on our Truro campus. After completing your first year, you will move to the Halifax campus to complete the final three years of your degree.<br><br>When you study Microbiology and Immunology at Dalhousie, you’ll study microscopic organisms and how they can impact our lives. You’ll learn how viruses, bacteria and parasites can cause disease, and how our bodies protect themselves. You’ll learn from faculty who are experts and active researchers in infectious diseases, cancer biology, inflammation and host-pathogen interactions.<br><br>First-year students begin by taking foundation courses in science. These courses will give you the background for more in-depth studies in topics such as bacteriology, virology, immunology, microbial genetics, bacterial pathogenesis and much more. Students taking Microbiology and Immunology also have the opportunity to participate in work terms through the co-op education program.
