Molecular Microbiology Program Guide

The training faculty of the interdepartmental Molecular Microbiology Program is drawn from the Departments of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Biochemistry, Pathology and Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and includes two Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators and two members of the National Academy of Sciences. They are united by a common interest in the biology of microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) and the effects of microbes on human and animal hosts. The strong interactions among the faculty make it possible for students to freely seek advice from all members of the faculty in addition to their thesis mentors and thesis advisory committees. The weekly journal club and research report programs are attended by students, faculty, postdoctoral fellows and technicians, creating an atmosphere of shared learning and enthusiastic discussion.

Students join research labs for laboratory rotation starting on their first day at GSBS and complete four such rotations during their first year. These experiences allow students to try out various mentors, lab groups and research projects, while becoming acquainted with basic techniques in microbiology, biochemistry and genetics. Many students earn authorships during their rotation experiences.
