About Us
Microbiology and Immunology Department
The Microbiology and Immunology Department offers programs leading to MS and PhD degrees. A dual degree of MD/PhD is also offered to students who are accepted into the Stritch School of Medicine and the Graduate School. Full tuition remission and stipend awards are available for accepted PhD and MD-PhD students. All applications are accepted for fall admission only.
The rich research environment of Loyola University Medical Center is nationally and internationally recognized due to such programs as the Neuroscience and Aging Institute, the Burn-Shock Trauma Institute, the Cardiovascular Research Institute, the Parmly Hearing Research Institute, and the Oncology Institute, as well as the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center. The adjacent Hines Veterans Affairs Hospital, which shares a strong affiliation with Loyola University Medical Center, offers many other opportunities for research collaboration.
Housed in the Center for Translational Research and Education (CTRE), the Department of Microbiology and Immunology is composed of 18 primary faculty with diverse expertise in immunology, microbiology, and virology. We welcome students from both the IPBS PhD program and MS programs, including our InDIRI and MIIM MS programs.
Labratories and Instrumentation
Each laboratory within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology is well equipped with current technology for reseach in microbiology, virology, and immunology. Additionally common equipment is available for use by all investigators including molecular imaging systems for documentation and quantitation of gels, real-time PCR thermocyclers, chromatography systems for biomolecule purification, spectrophotometers for quantitation and biophysical analysis of biomolecules, epifluorescence microscopes, high speed and ultra-centrifuges, scintillation counters, a dark room, and a environmental rooms. Additionally, numerous core facilities are available on campus for use by investigators. Two of these Core facilities, the DNA Core and Transgenic Core Facility, are located within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. Additional details of these Facilities are provided in the links below.
