Faculty Overview
In addition to the coursework offered through the Department of Microbiology and Cell Science, the online MS degree also offers courses from the University of Florida Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, both through the College of Medicine. Please take some time review our faculty directories to learn more about the faculty who will work with you to enhance your science education.
MCS Faculty
At the Department of Microbiology and Cell Science (MCS), through the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS), we work to generate new knowledge in microbial, molecular, cellular and computational biology and extend our knowledge to undergraduate and graduate students as well as the general public. We always strive to conduct competitive and state-of-the-art scientific research in response to many of today’s important biological problems.
We pride ourselves in the diversity of our faculty, student body and curriculum. Our curricula at the graduate and undergraduate levels are intended to prepare our students for positions in academia, biomedical sciences, industry and government.
The Microbiology and Cell Science graduate program supports the missions of the college and university to serve the nation’s and state’s critical needs by contributing to a well-qualified and broadly diverse citizenry, leadership and workforce through graduate education and to expand our understanding of the natural world, the intellect and the senses through graduate student research.
