The Microbiology graduate program benefits substantially from its interdisciplinary interactions and collaborations with departments involved with graduate education in the biological sciences: Biology and Biochemistry. These close and active interchanges include collaborative research projects by our faculty, and they also provide the opportunity for our students to take courses in the other programs that enrich their graduate education in Microbiology. Furthermore, our participation in the interdisciplinary graduate programs in Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology and in Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology expand the opportunity of our graduate students to engage with scientists with overlapping interests, and with scientists that bring different perspectives.
