Immunology Virology Program (IVP)
|
Immunology and virology at UMMS are active interdisciplinary biomedical fields whose studies range from molecular mechanisms to clinical trials. The Program in Immunology & Virology is directed by the Immunology and Virology Committee, an interdepartmental group that includes faculty with diverse research interests, including the molecular and cellular basis of immune responsiveness, and the control of viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. The program has a training grant to support both graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For more information  |
Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (IGP)
|
| The Interdisciplinary Graduate Program was established to support graduate training in interdisciplinary approaches to biomedical research. The more than 60 laboratories that participate in the program are headed by a distinguished group of faculty affiliated with 12 basic science and clinical departments. Program investigators employ a wide range of instrumentation and experimental approaches, including: classical and molecular genetics, proteomics and genomics, X-ray crystallography and nuclear magneticresonance, and digital imaging and laser confocal microscopy of single cells and tissues.

Residency Research Program in Internal Medicine
|
| The Research Pathway offers traditional and innovative programs flexibly designed for the resident who desires training as a physician - scientist and a career in academic medicine. This track, approved by the American Board of Internal Medicine, combines streamlined clinical training with a structured research experience. For more information |
Clinical Population and Health Research (CHPR)
|
| The Clinical & Population Health Research (CPHR) doctoral program is one of the few in the country that was specifically designed to address the new challenges in biomedical research. These include speeding the translation of knowledge from the explosion in basic sciences to patient care interventions, and assuring that new evidence-based medicine reaches the populations that can benefit from it. The CPHR program promotes an interdisciplinary approach to conducting research, and provides a strong focus on addressing the needs of vulnerable populations. For more information |
