Ph.D. in Medical Parasitology is a 3-5 year research program focused on parasites that affect human health. The curriculum brings together parasitology, microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology to investigate the biology, pathophysiology, and transmission of parasitic illnesses such malaria, leishmaniasis, and schistosomiasis. Students learn about diagnostic procedures, parasite-host relations, epidemiology, and the development of new therapies and vaccinations. Drug resistance, vector control, and new parasitic illnesses are all potential research fields. Graduates can work in academia, public health, pharmaceutical businesses, or international health organizations, helping to develop parasitic disease prevention and treatment.
