The Program in Molecular Genetics & Microbiology is an academic program of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The program offers research training in fundamental cellular and molecular biology with an emphasis on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Students entering the program are introduced to microbial pathogenesis in the program’s core course, Infection and Immune Response, which focuses on the mammalian immune system, and the bacterial and viral pathogens that have shaped it. Students then specialize in one or more of the following subject areas: bacterial or viral pathogenesis; immunology; or, basic cell/molecular biology. This collection showcases publications and presentations authored by students in this program.

Attention GSBS Molecular Genetics & Microbiology students: To submit your publications, go to GSBS Student Publications and click on Submit Research in the left sidebar. You’ll need to log in or create a free account. If you have the article's PubMed ID, submission is very easy. Enter the PubMed ID and information from PubMed will be used to populate the submission form. Questions? Contact Lisa Palmer.
