Microbiology and Immunology (PhD)
Build the skills you need to excel in biomedical research.
Why choose this program?
The Microbiology and Immunology graduate program provides you with the foundation to excel in a competitive research environment.
Along with gaining a general knowledge of microbiology and immunology, we also have four areas of specialization - bacteriology and microbial pathogenesis, cancer, immunology and inflammation, virology – so you can concentrate your studies in specific areas.
You will carry out independent research leading to a significant advance of knowledge in your area of study usually leading to 2-3 lead-author publications in highly respected journals.
Close collaborations and joint ventures between Microbiology and Immunology and clinical departments such as Pediatrics, Pathology, Surgery and Medicine as well as the Faculty of Dentistry have enhanced the development of several successful multidisciplinary research teams in areas such as cancer cell biology, vaccinology, transplantation, immunity and inflammation.
