Welcome to the Department of Microbiology & Immunology.   Our faculty members maintain NIH-funded research programs directed at understanding important issues related to viruses, bacteria, and the immune system.  We are experiencing an unprecedented expansion, including the addition of 8 new faculty members, the doubling of our postdoctoral program, the award of an $8.4 million NIH grant to establish the Center for Molecular and Tumor Virology, and the growth of our nationally recognized training program for graduate students.
