In the past decade, the biological sciences have undergone a revolution of unprecedented scale. This revolution, fueled in large part by studies in microbiology, is fast reshaping the way scientists approach the myriad biomedical and environmental issues confronting our society today. At the same time, microbiology still maintains its classical advantages – a wide variety of well-developed experimental approaches are available in the study of microbes, and many experiments can be completed in a relatively short time period. This makes microbiology especially well-suited for graduate student training. Our program faculty explore questions relevant to the following areas of modern microbiology:

Fundamental Life Processes

Many genes and their activities are conserved among bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Our faculty exploit the many practical advantages of microbes to perform detailed mechanistic studies of a wide array of fundamental biological phenomena. These include gene expression, cell division, membrane biogenesis, macromolecular transport, multicellular development, and cellular differentiation.

Microbial Pathogenesis

理解毒性机制是一个主要的手臂of medical research. Our faculty apply modern molecular genetic and biochemical technologies to understand the basis for infectious disease. Emphasis is placed on identifying and characterizing regulatory networks controlling virulence gene expression, virulence factor structure and function, mechanisms for spread of antibiotic resistance, and the host-pathogen interactions.
