“The Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology (MGM) is infused with an atmosphere and culture of inclusiveness that supports, encourages, and sustains diversity at all levels (undergraduate students, graduate students, medical students, fellows, staff, administration and faculty). This enriches our community, and brings together a diversity of backgrounds, viewpoints, talents, and vision that is synergistic in our tripartite mission in education, training, and research. There are myriad forms of diversity, and the departmental culture is welcoming and supportive of all.”
– Joseph Heitman, MD, PhD, Chair, Molecular Genetics & Microbiology
