The concentration in immunology and microbiology offers graduate
training in cellular and molecular immunology (including
immunopathology, immunogenetics, and autoimmunity) and in
microbiology (including virology, bacteriology, microbial genetics,
and microbial pathogenesis). The courses listed are taught in a 5week
modular format.
GMS 6030: Autoimmunity (1; max: 3) Prereq: GMS 6006 or
consent of instructor. Biological and biochemical aspects of
immunology, focusing on molecular and cellular events involved in
genetic susceptibility, pathogenesis, and treatment of human
autoimmune diseases.
GMS 6031: Molecular Immunology (1) Prereq: GMS 6001, 6006,
or consent of instructor. Biological and biochemical aspects, focusing
on molecular events critical to development of an immune response.
GMS 6032: Mechanisms of Host Defense (1) Prereq: GMS 6001,
6006, or consent of instructor. Biological and biochemical aspects of
immunology, focusing on effector mechanisms of immune response
to microbes and macromolecules.
GMS 6033: Immunity in Health and Disease (1) Prereq: GMS
6001, 6006, or consent of instructor. Biological and biochemical
aspects of immunology, focusing on the molecular and cellular basis
of human disease.
GMS 6034: Advanced Virology I: Genetics and RNA (1) Prereq:
consent of instructor. Theoretical framework for understanding the
fundamental concepts of viral genetics. Methods of analysis used to
elucidate the mechanisms of virus reproduction.
GMS 6035: Advanced Virology II: RNA Viruses (1) Prereq:
consent of instructor. Molecular biology and genetics of virology,
focusing on the molecular biology of RNA viruses.
GMS 6036: Molecular Virology III: DNA Viruses (1) Prereq:
consent of instructor. Molecular biology and genetics of virology,
focusing on replication and pathogenesis of DNA viruses.
GMS 6038: Bacterial Genetics and Physiology (1) Prereq: GMS
6006 or consent of instructor. Theoretical framework for
understanding fundamental concepts.
GMS 6039: Bacterial Pathogenesis (1) Prereq: consent of
instructor. Survey of medical microbiology, focusing on the genetics
and physiology of bacteria, their use as research tools, and the role
of bacteria in causing disease.
GMS 6040: Host-Pathogen Interactions (1) Prereq: consent of
instructor. Survey of medical microbiology, focusing on the host
response and subsequent evasion of that response by pathogens.
GMS 6121: Infectious Diseases (3) Prereq: consent of instructor.
