  • The primary objective of the Medical Microbiology and Immunology (MMI) track, one of six sub-plans of the Applied Biosciences GIDP, is to instruct and prepare students for an occupation in the diverse field of biomedical sciences. 
  • The focus of the MMI track is training students to attain a graduate-level biomedical education with an emphasis on medical microbiology, immunology, and virology.
  • This program is unique in incorporating the MMI-biomedical science training along with the linking and integration of important knowledge from the disciplines of management, business, and law.
  • All students in this program are required to complete an internship, in our case, in the area of MMI. Students do internships with biotechnology companies based in the Tucson-Phoenix corridor, or in academic research laboratories, and obtain invaluable on-the-job training, experience, and knowledge.
