This program serves the needs both of students with a strong undergraduate biology background with an interest in medicine or fundamental research and seeking deeper knowledge of immunology, as well as of academic physicians from a range of specialties who seek an in-depth knowledge of immunology in order to further their professional goals and research expertise.
The HMS Master’s in Medical Science in Immunology is a two-year program with two primary goals:
- To give students a solid foundation in Basic and Clinical Immunology to better understand how a new revolution is currently occurring in the treatment of numerous diseases and conditions including immunodeficiencies, allergies, chronic inflammatory diseases, transplantation, and cancer.
