Under
the mentoring of faculty who are leaders in their
field, the Immunology
area of concentration provides a large
array of opportunities for graduate students to
conduct cutting-edge research relating to immunology
and infection.
Many
of the faculty have, or have had, Federal (including
NIH, NSF, and EPA) ad Corporate Grants to support
their research. They regularly publish the results
of their research in high-quality journals.
The faculty
presently have research interests in
Indoor allergies
Basic
and clinical immunology
Retrovirology — retroviral variation, HIV,
endogenous retroviruses
Immunotoxicology
Viral pathogenicity
Vaccine development
Immunoparasitology of ectoparasites
Microbial ecology
Immune modulation
Algal toxins
Inflammatory and immune effector cell function
Cytokine signaling and apoptosis
