The Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Biochemistry is the newest basic science
department at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center.
The department was established in 2000 by combining the existing Department of Biochemistry
and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. This fusion has resulted in a new
dynamic and complementary blending of faculty talents in a way that encourages interdisciplinary
activities both within the department and among our faculty and faculty from other
departments and programs.
