MD (MD) in Infection, Immunity and Inflammation in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Immunology studies encompass cytokine and chemokine functions, immune cell communication, cutting-edge imaging techniques, and investigations into cellular and intestinal immunity. Our applied research targets rheumatoid arthritis, skin conditions, respiratory ailments, and immune-related disorders affecting the central nervous system.
The body's defense system plays a crucial role in fighting infections and can be enhanced through vaccinations to establish long-term immunity. Yet, immune reactions and inflammation also significantly contribute to various health conditions, including persistent inflammatory disorders, allergies, autoimmune diseases, neurological inflammation, and even cardiovascular illnesses and cancer. The Centre for Immunobiology at the School of Infection and Immunity conducts studies to unravel the molecular and cellular mechanisms of immunity in both healthy and diseased states, translating these findings into innovative treatments. This work thrives through strong collaborations among our team of skilled researchers and medical professionals, as well as partnerships with colleagues across the university and beyond.
Our researchers and students enjoy access to top-tier laboratory equipment in the Sir Graeme Davis building, located at the university's core, as well as in hospital clinical units throughout Glasgow. We specialize in diverse methodologies, such as molecular biology, Omics technologies, cellular studies, advanced flow cytometry, live tissue imaging, and disease models in living organisms, enabling comprehensive examination of immune processes at every level. The College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences Graduate School fosters an engaging, nurturing atmosphere for all postgraduate scholars. We are committed to offering outstanding guidance through dedicated advisors, well-prepared mentors, and personalized support for every student.
