Studies in Infection and Immunity seek to deepen knowledge about how organisms defend against infections, applying these insights to develop preventive measures and therapies.
The research initiatives encompass diverse areas such as:
interactions between hosts and pathogens (covering viruses, bacteria, parasites, and prion diseases)
animal immune responses to pathogenic threats
inherited disease resistance
patterns and spread of illnesses
These efforts are supported by extensive work in animal genetics and computational biology.
