Language accommodations

Although Université de Montréal is a French-language university, many of our research departments are open to creating a bilingual environment for students in graduate-level programs. These departments are aware of the importance of bilingualism in order for graduate students to succeed in their research careers.

Students who are proficient in English are therefore welcome and accepted into graduate-level programs.

The Department of Microbiology, Infectious Diseases and Immunology provides a number of accommodations to make you feel comfortable and help you fulfill the requirements of the program even if French is not your main language of study :

• Access to course notes in both French and English.
• Possibility of taking an equivalent course at an English-language university in Montréal.
• Choice of giving oral seminar presentations in either French or English.
• Choice of writing exams in French or English.
• Choice of taking the comprehensive exam in either French or English.
• Choice of writing your doctoral thesis or dissertation in French or English.

All laboratories are offered in a bilingual environment. Above all, staff in the program are available to help and support you throughout your studies.

Parasitology

Course type

Our portfolio covers many aspects of parasitology research from molecules to cells and whole organisms to populations. Research activities are based around skills in molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, epidemiology, population genetics and mathematical modelling and involve both laboratory-based projects and fieldwork.

Parasites are fascinating organisms, because of their capacity to live and replicate within the host environment. How parasites adapt and survive is the focus of much study with the potential to generate new and important discoveries that can impact upon control. Most organisms harbor parasites and much of our research is aimed at understanding how parasites cause disease and how best to control disease in both humans and animals. Improving upon existing treatments and understanding mechanisms of drug resistance are important aspects of this work. In addition, the epidemiology, ecology and population genetics of parasitic pathogens are important areas of research that significantly impact upon transmission and control.

Our research portfolio covers a range of tropical parasites that cause important diseases, including Plasmodium ssp (malaria), Trypanosoma ssp (sleeping sickness), Leishmania ssp (leishmaniasis) and Theileria (East coast fever/theileriosis), along with filarial worms, the cause of elephantiasis. We also study parasites that are endemic in the UK such as Toxoplasma gondii and important gastro-intestinal parasites of livestock that cause significant economic loss to the agricultural industry and are important for global food security. Many important parasites are transmitted by vectors, and we have growing strengths in vector biology, most notably mosquitoes and ticks. We aim to apply our findings to informing control programmes and to translate our findings into better diagnostics, drugs and vaccines.

Students undertake individual research projects in the area of expertise of their supervisor(s), although many projects on offer are interdisciplinary.

Your choice of projects is diverse, reflecting the range of expertise of potential supervisors. The University of Glasgow provides an excellent environment for parasitology research, housing the largest group of parasitologists in the UK, studying all aspects of parasitic disease from gene to population. Parasitology is housed within two institutes, Infection, Immunity and Inflammation and Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine. In addition, many of the group are members of the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology. The resources available provide the opportunity for excellent and cutting edge training in many different areas. These include molecular biology, biochemistry, ecology, epidemiology, mathematical modelling, bioinformatics, genetics, cell biology (including advanced in vitro and in vivo imaging), immunology and polyomics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc). Many projects are laboratory-based in up-to-date facilities with excellent research resources. Interdisciplinary research is a key aspect of our approach and we have many collaborators both within the university and externally. Some projects involve considerable amounts of fieldwork in the UK or overseas.

Parasitology (M.Sc.)

Program description.

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Parasitology (Thesis) offered by the Institute of Parasitology in the Faculty of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences is a research-intensive program that emphasizes stimulating and enriching learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in critical thinking, research methodology, and data management to either continue their studies or pursue professional opportunities.

Keywords: proteomics, molecular biology, genetic manipulation and bioinformatics, ethics, industry.

Unique Program Features

• Students benefit from well-equipped modern laboratories with excellent facilities for molecular research including a confocal suite;
• The Institute is affiliated with the J.D. MacLean Centre for Tropical Diseases at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC);
• Graduates pursue careers in academia, the private sector (e.g., biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors in research, management, technical services, and sales), or the public sector (e.g., health, agriculture, food safety, and various government agencies). Some graduates continue their education in medical school.

University-Level Admission Requirements

• Applicants are required to hold a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences or closely related field, with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.2 out of 4.0 or its equivalent. For certain international institutions this is equivalent to a First Class Division overall standing.
• Advanced knowledge in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology prior to applying to the program is necessary. It is strongly suggested to enclose information on these specific requirements (e.g., course outlines or descriptions) with the application so the background can be properly assessed.
• Knowledge in molecular biology must be recent (from within the last five years).
• English-language proficiency
