Doctor's degrees in Immunology: A program that focuses on scientific study of the biological mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of disease, host-pathogen interactions, and host response to disease. Includes instruction in antigen and antibody structure and function, effector mechanisms, receptors, histocompatibility, host-pathogen recognition, disease modeling, autoimmune systems, antibody formation, cytotoxic responses, regulation of immune response, virulence determinants, intercellular signalling, immunosuppression, immunotherapy, immunogenetics, disease markers, transplantation, antibody humanization, and microbial pathogenesis.

Immunology and microbial pathogenesis are extraordinarily exciting fields of research. Once a stand-alone discipline, immunology has evolved into a multi-focus science that today envelopes many facets of biology and medicine. The rich nomenclature in current use in immunology, which employs such terms as "Tumor"- "Auto"- "Cellular" and "Developmental," reflects this diversity. Conversely, the qualifier in "immuno-therapy" or "immuno-modulation" signals... |
