Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Faculty Seeking PhD Students

Academic Year 2018-2019

The GSBS faculty is polled periodically to determine which faculty members are interested in having new PhD students join their research programs and also anticipate they will have the necessary funding to support them. The faculty who responded affirmatively to these questions are indicated below.

This list is meant to serve as a general guide to aid students in identifying potential advisors.  Program Directors and the GSBS Office of Academic Affairs are also available to assist students. 

Research funding situations change frequently so students who are interested in doing research with GSBS faculty members who are not on the list should contact them directly. For a complete list of GSBS faculty please visit the GSBS faculty directory.
