Academic Excellence

Nationally Ranked

The University of Miami is awarded with a NIH T32 grant titled “Predoctoral Training in Translational Immunology,” one of the most prestigious awards given by NIH for PhD training and the first in the state of Florida in the areas of microbiology and immunology. This program is designed to train PhD students for translational research in areas of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and cancer, through designing translational research projects, participating in teaching medical students and clinical shadowing. It aims to provide each student with skills that will enhance their ability to pursue careers in academia or industry that are directly geared at improving the health of patients with immune-related diseases or other conditions that might benefit by immune therapy.

The Miller School of Medicine is ranked #44 by US News and World Report in the “Best Medical Schools: Research” category.

Accelerating Academics

Leading the University of Miami into the next frontier of education, the Miller School of Medicine’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has established a unique degree program that will enable industry and government scientists to remain on the job—and in their labs—while earning a Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
