Department Summary

The MIMG department’s mission is to provide the highest quality research and education possible in the fields of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics, informed by diverse scientific viewpoints. To meet this goal, we shall foster an inclusive climate and recruit a diverse group of scientists, educators, and students, who will address the most relevant problems in microbial pathogenesis, host cell biology, immune defense, and the host-pathogen interface.

The scientific endeavors of the MIMG department have yielded remarkable contributions in various fields of research and medical advancements. These include reporting many of the earliest atomic resolution cryoEM structures and pioneering studies in host-pathogen interactions. Notable discoveries also include the elucidation of the gut-brain axis, seminal studies in systemic and immune cell metabolism, and mechanistic understanding of tissue inflammation, autoimmunity, and immune deficiencies.

Clinical advancements include pivotal discoveries of BCR-ABL oncoproteins in leukemias, and the co-discovery of the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase have significantly impacted the development of targeted therapies for various cancers, including the first targeted therapy for chronic myelogenous leukemia, Gleevec. Methods for expressing antibody genes in lymphoid cells have paved the way for the genetic engineering of antibodies and antibody-based therapeutics. The cloning of HTLV II, a human T-cell leukemia virus, contributed to diagnostic tests widely used in blood banks globally and the development of the first animal model for HIV pathogenesis. Ongoing clinical trials for adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) have successfully cured over 50 babies to date, and CD19/CD20 bispecific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has led to complete responses in B cell lymphoma patients. Position Summary

The Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics (MIMG) is ranked among the top 10 microbiology departments in the country. We are proud of our internationally recognized faculty—whose research funding, in total, is among the highest in the nation; and whose research spans the disciplines of structural biology, cell biology, bacterial physiology, bacterial development and gene regulation, bacterial pathogenesis, virology and viral pathogenesis, molecular and cellular parasitology, immunology, molecular genetics, stem cell biology, cancer biology, and computational biology. We leverage this scientific diversity—along with our partnerships with other institutes, centers and departments at UCLA—to further cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and enrich teaching.
