Microbiology & Immunology Publications

 

Research in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology Publications revolves around two major fields of scientific endeavor, these fields involve studies on bacteria, virus, parasites, cancer and immune cells with an emphasis on molecular biology, biochemistry, and pathogenesis. Within these fields are several research groups, including the Western HIV Investigators Group, the Bacteria Pathogenesis group, the Cancer Group, the Probiotic Group and the Biotherapeutics Group.
