2 months ago
**Mission or Goal of Unit**:The mission of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology is to cultivate and educate an inclusive and collaborative group composed of faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows conducting cutting-edge research to improve human health.
- The department has a history of outstanding scientific achievement and is committed to growth in research and scholarship as indicated by extramural funding support and high impact publications. Discoveries by department faculty include basic research findings that enhance our understanding of health and disease, translational research that has clinical implications, and inventions and intellectual property that benefit human health.
- The department has a history of outstanding didactic and laboratory-based education for professional and graduate students in the School of Medicine (SOM). The faculty continue to innovate and excel in the classroom and the laboratory to provide the highest quality education for future physicians and scientists.
- The current department has more faculty who study microbiology than immunology. We seek a chair with expertise in immunology to enhance existing strengths in cancer, cardiovascular, transplant, and other applied immunology disciplines. This effort will include partnering with clinical departments to translate discoveries into clinical trials. Enhancing immunology in the department will be paired with additional growth and support for microbiology.
