Molecular Genetics and Microbiology – Missions Support Fund

In the ever-evolving world of science, discoveries that once seemed unimaginable are now within reach. Driving these breakthroughs are passionate researchers pushing the boundaries of knowledge, and dedicated educators preparing the next generation of scientists.

At the forefront of this pursuit is the University of Florida’s Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, a hub of innovation, discovery, and academic excellence. Here, faculty members lead cutting-edge research spanning mammalian genetics, virology, bacteriology, and beyond, all rooted in the powerful disciplines of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and gene therapy. Equally committed to education, the Department plays a vital role in training and mentoring future scientists, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to lead in an increasingly complex scientific landscape.
