Programs

The primary educational focus in the Immunobiology is its Graduate Program, which is designed to provide the education, intellectual support and supervision necessary for students to obtain a Ph.D. degree in Immunology. In addition, faculty interested in translational immunology can participate in the department's new Human Translational Immunology program. The descriptions below give a brief overview of the other opportunities available in the Department of Immunobiology.

Graduate Program

The Yale Immunobiology Graduate Program is an independent component of the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) Program of Yale Graduate School. It is designed to provide the education, intellectual support and supervision necessary for students to obtain the Ph.D. degree in Immunology. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary training and collaborative and interactive research, an approach based on the idea that solving difficult problems requires the integration of individuals with common goals but differing expertise. more…

Human Translational Immunology

Human Translational Immunology (HTI) is a new program at the Yale School of Medicine whose mission is to accelerate the application of new developments in the field of immunology to the treatment of human diseases. With its administrative base within the Department of Immunobiology and its core laboratories housed in the new Amistad building, the HTI program is open to all members of the Yale School of Medicine faculty with an interest in human immunology and the contributions of immunology to disease. more…

Postdoctoral Applicants

Postdoctoral applicants are initially screened and reviewed by individual faculty who are directly contacted by interested applicants. You can visit the Yale Office of Postdoctoral Affairs website at http://www.yale.edu/postdocs/postdocs.html for more information. 

Science Education Outreach Program

Science Education Outreach Program, SEOP, is a successful outreach program that has been in place since 1995. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the sciences at Yale carry out projects in genetics in the New Haven Middle Schools going together as teams of 3 per classroom. We focus on middle school to capture the spirit of curiosity of young people before they decide whether science is "cool" or not. more…
