Infection and Immunity

Research on Infection and Immunity covers the diversity of the pathogen world with projects on viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminth worms.

The goals of our research include dissecting the fundamental principles associated with a pathogenic lifestyle and the host immune response, and using this information to develop new tools for diagnosis, vaccination and therapies for important diseases.
