Infection and Immunity

Infection and immunity research is focused on understanding how pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites cause diseases and how the immune system responds to these threats.

About Infection and Immunity

We study the life cycles, genetics, and mechanisms of infection of various pathogens. By understanding how these microorganisms invade, replicate, and spread within hosts, we can identify potential targets for new treatments and vaccines.

We’re designing vaccines that induce long-lasting immunity by studying the immune system's memory response, and identifying safe, effective components.

Infection and immunity research is crucial for developing new diagnostic tools, treatments, and preventive measures. It has a significant impact on public health by advancing our understanding of infectious diseases and enhancing our ability to combat them.
