Graduate Studies

Our aim is to create a strong academic environment where graduate students and postdoctoral fellows can develop into independent investigators through sound basic research. Close to 90 Microbiology and Immunology graduate students are enrolled in the Department, working to further expand current scientific knowledge in the fields of cellular and molecular immunology, microbial physiology and genetics, molecular biology of viruses, and medical microbiology. We also foster close ties with hospitals and research centres across Montreal to favour multidisciplinary research.
