Graduate studies in the Infectious Disease Concentration Area involve molecular and cellular research in bacteriology, parasitology, and virology, along with examining host immune responses to these pathogens. The curriculum emphasizes disease origins, progression, diagnostic methods, vaccine creation, and antimicrobial treatments. Studies also explore genetic control and host-microbe relationships affecting disease development. Investigative methods incorporate diverse molecular, biochemical, pharmacological, and microscopic approaches using both cell cultures and complete organisms. Students specializing in Infectious Disease will concentrate on one or more of these research domains.
Each student follows a tailored academic plan that aligns with their goals while fulfilling faculty-mandated prerequisites. Core requirements include advanced cell biology and biochemistry courses, plus specialized classes in the chosen field (bacteriology, parasitology, or virology). Students and their advisors may select supplementary courses from the institution's extensive offerings.
