Introduction of Immunology and Microbiology:

Immunology and Microbiology research are fundamental to our understanding of the intricate world of microorganisms and the immune system’s response to them.

Immunotherapy:

Investigating treatments that harness the immune system’s power to fight cancer and autoimmune diseases, including checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies.

Infectious Disease Immunology:

Studying the immune responses to pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites, with a focus on vaccine development and antimicrobial strategies.

Immunogenetics:

Examining the genetic factors influencing immune system function and susceptibility to diseases.

Microbial Ecology:

Studying the interactions between microorganisms and their environments, including the roles of microbes in ecosystems and nutrient cycling.

Microbial Genetics:

Examining the genetic makeup and mechanisms of microorganisms, including gene regulation, horizontal gene transfer, and antibiotic resistance.

Virology:

Investigating the structure, replication, and pathogenicity of viruses, as well as the development of antiviral therapies and vaccines.
