Education & Training

Seminar Series

The weekly Pharmacology & Immunology Seminar Series provides trainees, faculty, and the MUSC research community with opportunities to hear about the latest research from our department and engage with leading experts from across the country. The series fosters scientific exchange, discussion, and collaboration across the research community.

Graduate students can enroll in the Pharmacology and Immunology Seminar Series (MBIM 770) course.

Log in with your MUSC credentials to view the seminar schedule.

Journal Club

MUSC students can enroll in Critical Literature in Inflammation and Immunity (MBIM 856).

The principal goals of the Journal Club are to:

• Enhance graduate students' understanding of the current state of knowledge of immunology and microbiology
• Provide experience in reviewing and critiquing research articles, and
• Provide opportunities for students to present on ongoing research and receive feedback from peers.

Classes include discussions of speaker-related articles, pharmacology, and immunology articles, as well as professional development work.

Graduate Education

Our department houses two graduate programs designed to train students in the rigors of scientific research, expose them to contemporary experimental approaches, and train them in the design and interpretation of experimental data.

The Pharmacology Graduate Program and the Microbiology & Immunology Graduate Program offer both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Students who want to pursue a Ph.D. apply through the College of Graduate Studies Admissions Committee. After their first year, students enter the Pharmacology Program or Microbiology & Immunology Program by choosing a mentor in that specific program.
