Center for Microbiology and Immunology

The mission of the Center for Microbiology and Immunology (CMI) is to advance discovery in human immunology and expand the understanding of human disease processes. As microbiome have a sweeping impact on complex human diseases, we aim to understand the interplay between host-microbe interactions and immune genetics to elucidate the pathogenesis of complex immune and inflammatory diseases.We believe in the value of basic science discovery and in emphasizing individual diversity (as well as the perspective of diverse faculty) to promote innovation in personalized health care of immune diseases. We strive for excellence in all that we do and teach trainees to do in microbiology, immunology, microbiome research and education.
