The University of Maryland at College Park has recently launched the Maryland Pathogen Research Institute (MPRI). On campus, MPRI brings a broad-based, multi-disciplinary approach to the research of pathogenic microorganisms. Consider the advantages of a graduate education at UMD:
  • Internationally renowned faculty, including leaders in
    Bioinformatics/Genomics, Bioengineering, Host-Pathogen
    Interactions research
  • State-of-the-art research facilities and equipment
    Comprehensive training program, with numerous course options, Ph.D. and M.S. tracks, weekly seminars and journal clubs, monthly group meetings, annual retreat
  • Highly qualified, diverse student population
  • Geographically desirable area — near Washington, DC and the National Institutes of Health
  • Teaching assistantships
  • Great campus, including the TERPS!
    and more...

Students interested in Ph.D. studies in pathogen research have a number of choices. Our faculty supervise Ph.D. research in host-pathogen interactions through a number of different graduate programs. Links to these programs can be found on this page, and potential students are encouraged to apply to the Ph.D. program that best matches their interests.

See the links below for instructions on how to apply to each program. Once admitted to a program, students are encouraged to contact faculty directly to discuss their interests further.
