Health Science Campus The Infection, Immunity and Transplantation (IIT) track in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Research Program provides students an education and training in the microorganisms that are relevant to human health and in the immune system that allows us to overcome infection as well as rejects transplantation of organs and tissues. Students in the IIT track may pursue the Master of Science (M.S.) or the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree or, after acceptance into the medical school, a combined M.D./Ph.D. or M.D./MS. degree program. The IIT faculty is internationally recognized, well funded and has a strong record of graduate student and postdoctoral fellow mentoring. Faculty study individual microbes (bacteria, viruses, or fungi), with particular emphasis on its biology, evolution or pathogenic mechanism; the autoimmune diseases of asthma, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis; the development, differentiation and activation of the innate and adaptive immune systems; and the mechanisms responsible for transplant rejection. Research in Infection, Immunity and Transplantation currently includes: Related Diseases: IIT research laboratories are modern and well equipped to apply state-of-the-art technologies to microbiology and immunology research endeavors.
