Welcome to the Department of Immunology & Microbiology
To stimulate leading-edge research and scientific training in a diverse and welcoming community. We focus our collective expertise on fundamental mechanisms in immunity and infection, and work together to transform the power of scientific discovery into novel therapies for infectious diseases, autoimmunity and cancer.

Ann Palmenberg Junior Investigator Award
Jenna Guthmiller, PhD, assistant professor of immunology and microbiology, received the Ann Palmenberg Junior Investigator Award at the American Society for Virology annual meeting on June 25. The award recognizes junior investigators who have made significant contributions to the field of virology and who display exceptional promise. Her lab studies how broadly protective humoral immunity against influenza viruses develops and can be harnessed by vaccination. Her expertise has been showcased in recent news reports about avian flu, including this article in the AAMC News and this report in The Denver Post.
Gilliam Fellowships Awarded
Brittany Gomez, who is in the Immunology PhD program, and Linda van Dyk, PhD, professor and vice chair of The Department of Immunology and Microbiology have been awarded the Gilliam Fellowships by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
