Specialization occurs in individual research projects.
Interdisciplinary, interdepartmental training grant to support doctoral study in prokaryotic diversity and offer undergraduate research opportunities. Dr. Margie Lee is the only Medical Microbiology and Parasitology faculty member who is also faculty on this training grant. Her research involves molecular studies on the virulence of Pasteurella multocida and molecular epidemiology of food-safety pathogens. See the RTG home page for more information on the program and how to apply. The PhD program offers research specialization in bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and immunology.
