About Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown
Our goal is to advance our understanding of infection and disease progression. Current research interests in the department include understanding host signaling in response to viral infection, molecular mechanisms of NK and NK T cell activation, and molecular principles underlying fungal pathogenesis. This work provides an interdisciplinary structure for our training programs.
MMI supports undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral education in the areas of microbiology and immunology. Departmental instruction includes lecture courses, seminar courses, and laboratory research (both undergraduate independent study and graduate thesis). We foster collaborative studies within the department as well as with faculty in other departments, both on campus and hospital-based.
The Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology fosters rigorous, student-centered scholarship through a number of degree programs.
A commitment to diversity and inclusion is integral to the University's research and teaching mission.
Meet the scientists in MMI focused on solving our world's most pressing health challenges.

Flow Cytometry Facility
the Brown University Flow Cytometry and Sorting Facility. The purpose of this facility is to provide technical assistance to Brown researchers by performing flow cytometry-based analysis and sorting. The facility has a 5-laser, 20-parameter BD FACSAria IIIu for flow and sorting applications, as well as a 3-laser, 15-parameter BD FACSCelesta equipped with a high throughput system for analysis of samples from 96 well plates.
