Department of Microbiology & Immunology

Welcome to the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus. Our faculty are deeply committed to advancing the University’s mission through discovery, service, and education. We investigate the microbial and immunological underpinnings of human disease, with research spanning more than 20 bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens that collectively affect billions of people worldwide. From AIDS and foodborne illnesses to pneumonia, anthrax, and autoimmune disorders, our work seeks to better understand the mechanisms of disease and translate that knowledge into new approaches for prevention and treatment.
