Another way to go about this is to pick up a few of the latest journals
(like Immunity, Science, Nature, etc) and see who the authors are and
where the contemporary work is coming from. Then you'll start seeing
schools who have "smaller" programs than Stanford and Harvard, but full
of more prominent researchers (which admittedly does not necessarily make
a good program, but usually is a good place to start).
Good luck,
