Welcome
Welcome to the web site of the Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine. Our Department is devoted to Education, Research, and Service in the areas of Virology and Bacteriology.
Our areas of interest are diverse and include pathogenesis, viral oncology, vaccine development and evaluation, antibiotic resistance, and host responses to infection. Our expertise includes studies of respiratory viruses, viral gastroenteritis, HIV and AIDS, and microbial genomics.
We also have a strong interest in emerging infectious diseases and biodefense. We provide a section on these pages devoted to topics such as influenza, SARS, anthrax and other potential bioterrorism agents, to serve as a community resource and summary of our research in these areas.
On these pages, you will find much more information about the Education, Research, and Service activities of the department. If you would like any additional information, please contact us.
