Molecular Microbiology
Molecular Microbiology: The Division of Molecular Microbiology encompasses a spectrum of research that flows from fundamental science using model organisms to translational research on medically- and economically-significant species. The overarching purpose of the division is to further the science of molecular microbiology through innovative and internationally-recognized research on a broad platform of topics.
