Graduate Programs - American Association of Immunologists.
The mission of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology is two-fold: the education of medical and graduate students and the search for a better understanding of patho-mechanism of infectious diseases and the response of the immune system against infectious agents in the areas of medical microbiology. Additional goals are the development of new knowledge concerning microbiological and.
The Center for Cancer Immunology Research (CCIR) is one of the six collaborative programs in biomedical research that make up the McCombs Institute for the Early Detection and Treatment of Cancer. The CCIR’s state-of-the-art facility for immunology research provides a platform for integrating basic and clinical immunology research programs.
The Immunology Link is a immunology, cell biology, biotechnology and molecular biology research resource which provides information for graduate and medical students, post-doctoral fellows, clinical fellows, faculty in immunology and research scientists in basic medical sciences and biotechnology. Visit our site for online job and journal searches, to find a graduate program, to find an.
The Advanced Topics in Immunology course builds on the basic foundational knowledge taught in the prerequisite course “Fundamentals of Immunology.” “Advanced Topics in Immunology” will survey both historical and contemporary topics in the field of immunology, and it will foster both written and oral presentation skills with the use of modular activities. While faculty will provide some.
Programs; Immunology; Program Overview. The Department of Immunology offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in a wide range of immunological disciplines. These disciplines include molecular mechanisms of lymphocyte development and selection, T-cell and B-cell receptors, cell interactions, growth factor receptors, cytokine networks, antigen.
Typically, master’s degrees are completed with 30 credits and may involve a thesis. At the Doctorate level, many specialized programs are offered, such as a PhD in Cancer Biology, Biomedical PhD Programs, or PhD in Microbiology. These programs tend to focus on advanced research and students are required to produce and defend their dissertation.
Recognizing the need to create an environment where researchers could be adequately trained in the multifaceted aspects of immunobiology, Penn became the first medical school to establish a separate degree-granting PhD program in Immunology. The faculty of the Immunology Graduate Group (IGG) are drawn from across the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
