PhD in Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis in Atlanta United States | Emory University

The Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis (IMP) program delivers outstanding cross-disciplinary education in cellular and molecular immunology, along with exploring the immune system's role in infectious disease development. This program enables students to investigate diverse facets of disease mechanisms, from fundamental immunology to the molecular study of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens. Faculty research incorporates varied experimental techniques spanning immunobiology, molecular and cellular biology, disease mechanisms, and genetics. Several IMP faculty also bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications through translational studies. Graduate degrees in Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis are awarded through the Laney Graduate School and the Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences. Policy development and issue resolution involve faculty Executive Committees supporting the Graduate School Dean and Division Director. A Divisional Student Advisory Committee, composed of representatives from each program, provides a platform for addressing and discussing student concerns.
