Welcome to the Immunology Graduate Program at the University of Colorado. Our graduate program couples both formal coursework with informal instruction and vigorous bench training in diverse areas of immunology within an extremely collaborative setting that culminates with a Ph.D. in Immunology. We carry out our research in beautiful Colorado just eastof the accessible Rocky Mountains.

The Immunology Graduate Program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus was founded in 1989, and integrates faculty from the University of Colorado, the world-renown National Jewish Health and the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes. The program draws from the academic strengths of all three institutions that have contributed significant resources to make our program one of the most prominent basic immunology research programs in the country. Our diverse faculty, with over 40 training faculty, investigates all aspects of immunology including cell development and activation, signaling, inflammation, innate immunity, structural biology, genomics and disease states such as autoimmunity, transplantation, infectious disease, pulmonary immunity and cancer. The majority of our faculty hold appointments in the Department of Immunology & Microbiology at the University of Colorado and the Department of Biomedical Research at National Jewish Health as well as the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, the Department of Medicine (Divisions of Infectious Disease, Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, and Gastroenterology). Our program students upon graduating also have the opportunity to earn a certificate from the Colorado Clinical Translational Science Institute (CCTSI) that emphasizes training in translational settings.

Applicants with proven scientific ability, indicated through performance in a college level science program and/or performance in a research laboratory, are welcome and encouraged to apply. Our program seeks to invest in students with the ability to thrive in a stimulating, research-oriented graduate program leading to careers in Immunology in the academic, governmental or private sectors. We encourage applications from qualified underrepresented minorities where we have a strong history of successful training. A Bachelor's degree or equivalent is required for admittance.
