- Selected Spring Courses
- Graduate Molecular Biology and Genetics course (IND410), 4 CR.
- Advanced Immunology course, 3 CR. To be directed by Dr. Andrea Sant. The course will focus on the experimental basis for our current view of key topics in immunology. The intention is to complement and enhance the Introductory Immunology course, particularly for graduate students in the Immunology track. The class is expected to be smaller and consequently more interactive than MBI473. Students wishing to take this course should have taken MBI473, or a similar introductory immunology course.
- Neuroinflammation course (ANA513) 4 CR. Will cover CNS responses to inflammation and related topics. This is only the second such course to be offered in the US.
- General Virology course (MBI456), 4 CR This course is offered in odd-years only (i.e., 2005, 2007).
- Selected Fall Courses
- Graduate Biochemistry course (IND408), 4 CR.
- Graduate Cell Biology course (IND409), 4 CR.
- Introductory Immunology course (MBI473), 4 CR. This course provides a broad introduction to Immunology. Graduate students should also take the co-seminar course (MBI 573).
- Ethics Course. Required. Provided in an online form for convenience. Please contact Linda Lipani for details (Ms. Lipani is the URMC Registrar).
