Harvard Medical School, of 119 · Ranking
  • NIH names only the principal investigators on an award, so this page lists only them. The department is the award's: it is where ScienceDex counts the award, not a list of the department's members.
  • These are the awards in the Microbiology & Immunology row of the Harvard University page. Department rankings count Harvard University's awards toward Harvard Medical School.
