Grad School Minicourses

Minicourses are offered in the spring quarter of the first year in conjunction with other graduate programs. These courses are typically two to three weeks in length and are more focused on a narrow topic with in depth review of primary literature in a discussion group setting. ImmunoX aims to ensure that there are least three immunology minicouses per year on a rotating basis.

Professional School Courses

Graduate students choose a lab for their thesis research at the end of the first year of study after completing three laboratory rotations. See list of ImmunoX faculty here. Therefore, most students formally become members of the ImmunoX Graduate Program in Immunology when they join an ImmunoX faculty member’s lab at the end of their first year. However, interested first year students are invited to participate in ImmunoX events, such as the UCSF ImmunoX/UCB Immunology Retreat, as soon as they arrive at UCSF.
