Institute Of Infection, Immunity And Inflammation Description
Basic, applied, clinical and translational research
Infectious, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases place an enormous global burden on human and animal health. The Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation comprises scientists and clinicians working together to promote and develop research, drug discovery and ultimately improvements in patient care in this area of critical international importance.
To achieve this, our aims are ambitious.
To understand the basic science of the immune system and how the immune system can in turn promote disease
To understand the biology of parasites, viruses and bacteria and the interactions with their hosts, that in turn leads to high levels of infectious disease worldwide
To develop therapies (drugs and vaccines) targeted on these processes
To explore new treatments and strategies in clinical and translational medicine.
