The Department of Immunology of the SBMU School of Medicine officially become independent and separated from the Department of Microbiology. Following being capable of benefiting from the cooperation of its full time academic staff, it began admitting students at graduate level in MSC in Immunology. Presently, there are 10 students being annually admitted at that level. There are two labs, a research lab, and an educational one. The educational lab, located at the Ground Floor of the SBMU School of Medicine, the students of PhD general in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy work on their immunology lab courses offered to them. In the Research Lab, located on the 7^th Floor of the SBMU School of Medicine, the students at various graduate levels, work on their proposals and dissertations under the supervision of the department’s academic staff. The Department Chair and the staff have their offices at this same floor. In the near future, the Department is going to admit students at PhD levels in Immunology so it can have more major roles in training and promoting academic staff in immunology at the national level for the universities.
