Description: The Department of Microbiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, traces its origins to 1895, when the first Professor of Bacteriology and Immunology, Harold C. Ernst was appointed. The Department provided courses in the Medical School’s first year curriculum with lectures and laboratory work, though this instruction was soon moved to students’ second year. In the 1970s, the Department’s name changed to the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. In 2011, the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics transitioned and merged with the Department of Pathology to form the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology. In 2018, the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology split into two independent preclinical departments, resulting in the Department of Microbiology and the Department of Immunology. Led by the Chair of the Department, the faculty of the Department of Microbiology seek to advance fundamental understanding of the mechanisms underlying microbial growth, survival, replication and pathogenesis. By studying both bacteria and viruses, they are probing the mechanisms they employ to interact with host organisms in health and disease, thereby laying the groundwork for addressing critical infectious disease challenges, including the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens and the emergence of new viral pathogens.
