Microbiology Department

The faculty of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Virginia conduct research focused on immunology, cell biology, bacterial and viral pathogenesis, and the molecular basis of cancer. Our goal is not only to make inroads into understanding these complex problems, but also to train the next generation of young scientists. As you look though this internet site, we hope that you will gain a sense of the vitality in our department, the excitement of our faculty and students for their research, and the collegial environment of the University of Virginia.
