Researchers in the Division of Immunology and Pathogenesis (I and P) perform cutting-edge studies to decipher the immune systems of both mice and humans. Many faculty members investigate the architecture and operations of cell surface receptors, how antigen receptor genes assemble, and diverse facets of immune recognition. Our work also emphasizes immune monitoring in cancer, programmed cell death, organ transplantation, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. The division provides an integrated training curriculum in contemporary molecular and cellular immunology, enhanced by strong collaborations with biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics research across other departments. Together with the Cancer Research Laboratory, the Division operates and manages advanced facilities for high-tech microscopy, flow cytometry, and creating genetically modified mouse models.

Qualification Requirements
The following minimum requirements apply to all graduate programs and will be verified by the Graduate Division:
A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution,
A grade point average of B or better (3.0),
If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these), and
Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the given field.
The admission committee employs a holistic approach to assessing the merits of each application. This means that we review all facets of an application in order to determine a candidate's overall potential and fit with our program. In particular, the Statement of Purpose and Personal Statement are very important aspects of your application. Strong undergraduate preparation for this program would include at least one year each of: calculus, physics, and general biology, two to three semesters of chemistry (general, organic and physical chemistry), additional advanced coursework in such areas as biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology and/or neurobiology, experience of working in a research laboratory while an undergraduate . Letters of recommendation should be from persons who have supervised your research or academic work and who can evaluate your intellectual ability, creativity, leadership potential and promise for productive scholarship.
