Immunology

The Immunology Track is designed to prepare students for independent careers in research and teaching in immunology or related disciplines. The educational program emphasizes interdisciplinary training and collaborative and interactive research, an approach based on the idea that solving difficult problems requires the integration of individuals with common goals but differing expertise. Graduate students are diverse in their interests and ethnic backgrounds, and more than 50 percent are women.

"I did post-baccalaureate research at Yale for six months before starting to interview at other schools. I realized that Yale had the only Immunology program in the nation that was both intimate and fabulous. My California may have been great weather, but I knew that if I were smart I would recognize that the superior training I was going to receive here outweighed any other factors I was taking into consideration." - Becky Sweet, Immunology Track
