This program provides background and training in the areas of molecular and cellular immunology, molecular and biochemical microbiology, and eukaryotic and procaryotic molecular genetics. The goal is to develop high competent investigators capable of performing and eventually directing research in basic modern microbiology and immunology. Trainees are exposed to a variety of perspectives, ideas, and methodologies which can be utilized in their dissertation research and careers as investigators. Rigorous research training is provided in studies of eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems using combinations of molecular, biochemical, genetic, and cellular approaches. While relationships to human disease are emphasized, trainees receive experience in the most modern molecular and biochemical technologies. Research disciplines include molecular and cellular immunology, microbial biochemistry, molecular genetics, mycology, virology, bacteriology, and cell biology. Predoctoral trainees complete a rigorous series of graduate courses providing them with a thorough background in microbiology and immunology. First year students complete courses in the molecular basis of pathogenic microbiology, molecular and cellular immunology, and microbial genetics and physiology. This is followed by advanced elective courses, several series of seminars by outside speakers and faculty, and by journal club participation. Trainees are required to complete rotations in three laboratories prior to the selection of a permanent advisor and a dissertation research topic. Applicants must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, and a solid background in biological and chemical sciences. Only full time students are accepted. Postdoctoral trainees are often offered the opportunity to work in collaboration with more than one preceptor as a part of this Training Program. The postdoctoral trainee is encouraged to utilize resources available throughout the Health Sciences Center. Postdoctoral trainees must have received a Ph.D. or M.D. degree, and past productivity as assessed by publication record is used, at least in part, as the basis for evaluating applicants.

该专业提供分子和细胞免疫学、分子和生物化学微生物学以及真核和原核分子遗传学领域的背景知识和培训。目标是培养能够执行并最终指导基础现代微生物学和免疫学研究的高素质调查人员。学员接触到各种观点，想法和方法，可以在他们的论文研究和职业生涯中作为调查人员使用。严格的研究培训提供了在真核和原核系统的研究，使用分子，生物化学，遗传和细胞方法的组合。在强调与人类疾病的关系的同时，受训人员获得了最现代的分子和生物化学技术的经验。研究学科包括分子和细胞免疫学、微生物生物化学、分子遗传学、真菌学、病毒学、细菌学和细胞生物学。博士前学员完成一系列严格的研究生课程，为他们提供微生物学和免疫学的全面背景。一年级的学生完成病原微生物的分子基础，分子和细胞免疫学，微生物遗传学和生理学的课程。其次是高级选修课程，外部演讲者和教师的几个系列研讨会，以及期刊俱乐部的参与。在选择永久顾问和论文研究课题之前，学员必须在三个实验室完成轮换。申请人必须拥有认可机构的学士学位，以及生物和化学科学的坚实背景。只接受全日制学生。作为该培训计划的一部分，博士后学员经常有机会与一位以上的导师合作。鼓励博士后实习生利用整个健康科学中心可用的资源。博士后必须获得博士学位。或者医学博士学位和过去的生产力，以出版记录评估，至少部分地作为评估申请人的基础。
