The Graduate Faculty of the Department of Pathology, Immunology,
and Laboratory Medicine participate in the interdisciplinary program
(IDP) in medical sciences, leading to the Doctor of Philosophy
degree, with specialization in one of the six advanced concentration
areas of the IDP (see Medical Sciences). Departmental areas of
research associated with the IDP include cellular and molecular
immunology, autoimmunity, immunogenetics, immunochemistry,
immunopathology, immunology of infectious diseases, tumor biology
and virology, membrane biochemistry, molecular biology,
hepatobiliary pathobiology, and comparative and nutritional
pathology.
The degree concentrations associated with the IDP emphasize basic
research, whereas the specializations in clinical immunology, and
clinical virology emphasize laboratory training for management and
supervision of clinical laboratories. Careers in pathology offer a
diversity of opportunities: basic research in immunology or
pathology, service in diagnostic laboratories, and teaching. In
addition to courses associated with the IDP, the Department of
Pathology, Immunology, and Laboratory Medicine also offers a
variety of other courses, listed below.
