Director: Dr. L.J. Chang (lchang@mgm.ufl.edu)

List of recommended articles (Updated Oct. 10, 2005)
If you choose an article not on this list, please consult with Dr. Chang at least one week in advance.  Please keep in mind that the article should represent a whole new and exciting discovery - a paradigm shift in our understanding of immunity and/or microbiology - preferably a combination of the two fields - NOT an incremental addition to an ongoing story.  It should not be so focused in its scope that only a few members of the journal club will find it interesting.
