A
Message from Ronald B. Corley, Ph.D.
Chairman
of Microbiology
Welcome
to the Department of Microbiology. We are excited about the direction
of research and graduate studies in the Department of Microbiology
and are pleased to be able to share them with you. The Department
is located in contiguous space on the fifth floors of the Instructional
and Housman Research buildings of the Boston University School of
Medicine. The Department contains modern laboratory research facilities,
state- of-the-art instrumentation and an up-to-date library.
We
offer graduate training in the broad areas of Microbiology and Immunology.
The research interests of the faculty in the Department of Microbiology
range from studies of bacteriology, virology, and immunology to those
of gene expression and function. PhD training is available in Microbiology
and Microbial Pathogenesis as well as through the interdepartmental
training programs in Immunology, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Oncobiology.
Students
in our graduate program participate in formal coursework, seminars,
and directed research in their chosen fields of study. Students may
select to do their thesis research in their chosen field of study
with any of the graduate faculty in the Department of Microbiology
as well as within other departments and programs of the Division of
Graduate Medical Sciences. Together, theses faculty offer studies
in a wide variety of scientific disciplines.
Boston
is a city known for its excellence in scientific and medical education
as well as its historic, cultural, recreational, and sports activities.
Students in the Department have the opportunity to avail themselves
of this rich scientific and medical community and to interact with
other institutions offering graduate programs.
We
hope you will visit our website at www.bumc.bu.edu/microbiology

Sincerely,
