The Graduate Institute of Immunology was founded in 1992. We admitted the first class of M.S. students in 1993 and established the Ph.D. program in 1996. Currently, the Institute has seven full-time faculty members and seven joint and adjunct members.
Our students learn in depth of immune cell development, signal transduction, regulation of immune response, apoptosis, allergy, as well as immunopathogenesis of diseases. They are expected to take courses in molecular biology, cell biology, and biotechnology. Two required and elective seminar courses are offered which cover most recent publications in the field of immunology and overview of current developments in immunology. The goals of seminar courses, poster presentation, and progress report are to train our students critical thinking, ability to critique and learn from publications in immunology, ask questions, and organize and present scientific findings.
Our M.S. students are to meet 24-unit course work requirement in addition to completing a thesis. They are expected to acquire the ability to do independent research. Our Ph.D students are to meet 28-unit course work requirement in addition to completing a Ph.D thesis. They are expected to become independent researchers who are equipped with the ability to design experiments, to critique scientific data and solve problems relating to research.
Our faculty members are actively engaged in immunology research. Their research areas encompass hematopoiesis, infection, cancer, autoimmunity, T cell regulation, and T cell differentiation.
