Program Description
The Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology offers a range of opportunities for training in the use of molecular and genetic tools to solve biological problems. Current research interests focus on: (1) microbial pathogenesis, (2) RNA biology, (3) virology, and (4) experimental genetics and genomics. Members of the Department use a wide variety of experimental approaches (e.g., classical genetics, generation of transgenic... |
