Immunology Training Program

Basic Training at the Intersection of Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Disease

This training program is based in the Department of Immunology at the University of Washington, with Dr. Michael Gale, Jr. and Dr. Joan Goverman serving as multi-Principal Investigators and Program Co-Directors. Our training faculty include specialists in immune system development, infectious disease immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, cancer immunology, immunodeficiencies, innate immunity, vaccinology, and immunotherapeutics.

Our trainees benefit from the rich, diverse, and interactive Immunology community at the University of Washington and our partner institutions. We provide trainees the opportunity to attend specific national meetings annually, exposure to different career paths, formal evaluation of trainees’ scientific presentations and progress by a committee composed of members of our training faculty, and dedicated interactions with selected Immunology seminar speakers. An External Advisory Committee provides ongoing evaluation of the training program.
