MICR 264 and 265 Microbiology and Immunology - Graduate Research Colloquium

All students must take a journal club/RIP course during each term of residence, except summer. An essential element of scientific training is in the critical analysis and communication of experimental research in an oral format. Evaluation will be based on quality of the work described, quality of critical analysis, and on presentation style, including effective use of audio-visual materials. All students will be required to participate in at least one Journal Club/Research in Progress series. Although minor variations in format exist among the several series, all students will make oral presentations that describe work from the current literature. Normally these series meet every other week for two hours. This course is not open to undergraduates.

Journal Club topics available for students to select and enroll in are:

MICR 264 Immunology

MICR 265 Molecular Pathogenesis
