Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Molecular and Cell Biology: Immunology and Pathogenesis
The major in Molecular and Cell Biology: Immunology & Pathogenesis (IMP) emphasis focuses on understanding how the immune system combats infection and the mechanisms by which infectious microbial pathogens cause disease. It is now clear that inappropriate immune or inflammatory responses underlie many human diseases, and new cancer therapies exploit the immune system’s ability to recognize and eliminate tumor cells. Thus, immunology truly is at the forefront of modern biomedical science, and the undergraduate tracks within this emphasis are ideal for students interested in the medical and health sciences.
