The faculty of the Department of Microbiology carry out multi-disciplinary research programs in microbial genetics, pathogenesis, immunology, and virology. The Department of Microbiology has 34 primary faculty and more than $16 million in active NIH grant support. It is one of eight Joint Health Science Departments at UAB. Departmental dedication to excellence in research, teaching, and training is evidenced not only by our funding support, but also by our ability to attract outstanding postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. We train approximately thirty postdoctoral and seventy-five graduate students at any given time and take pride in launching our trainees into successful and productive careers.
