The Program in Immunology is an interdepartmental program offering training and research opportunities leading to a Ph.D. in immunology. The goal of the program is to develop young investigators who will have a solid foundation in basic biomedical sciences and who will carry out innovative research in immunology. The program features a flexible selection of courses and seminars to enrich students' background in biomedical science, combined with extensive research training through laboratory rotations and thesis research supervised by the immunology faculty.

Students have access to state-of-the-art research facilities in the immunology laboratories, located in various departments in the School of Medicine, the Department of Biological Sciences, the Chemistry Department (all in close proximity on the Stanford Campus), the Palo Alto Veteran's Administration Medical Center, and at the Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove. Among the facilities available are those for cell sorting, DNA and peptide synthesis, DNA sequencing, electron microscopy, computer analysis of nucleic acids and proteins, and transgenic mice. Students also have access to all Stanford libraries, including online resources such as E-Journals.
