Molecular Microbiology & Immunology (MHS)

专业详情

The goal of the MHS program in MMI is to provide a solid foundation in the biomedical sciences for a select group of students interested in addressing outstanding issues underlying infectious and immunologic diseases of public health importance. It aims to equip students with a diversity of disciplinary concepts and methodological tools to solve specific disease-related problems. This holistic approach requires a common core of knowledge of the population, clinical, cellular and molecular aspects of disease.

The Department provides the Master of Health Science (MHS) program for students who wish to gain a greater depth of knowledge in molecular microbiology, immunology, and infectious diseases or in tropical public health but who do not wish to commit to longer-term research training programs. MHS training is provided through coursework, special studies with faculty members, and participation in other Departmental activities. An elective opportunity to gain experience with basic molecular biological laboratory techniques is also available.
