Overview
About Microbiology at University of Pittsburgh
Do big science. More than 2 dozen faculty mentors run active laboratories and bring in ~$7 million in grants annually, giving students the freedom and opportunity to pursue and answer important questions.
Students do three 10-week research rotations during their first year, exploring a range of approaches, perspectives and lab environments.
Our community size of ~50 MCDB students is large enough to catalyze exchange of innovative ideas, but small enough so that each student gets close attention from their faculty mentor.
