Microbial Immunology
Microbial Immunology is the study of how the immune system responds to microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This field focuses on understanding the interactions between microbes and the immune system, including how microbes evade immune detection, how the immune system recognizes and eliminates pathogens, and how these interactions can lead to disease or contribute to overall health. Researchers in Microbial Immunology investigate the mechanisms of host-microbe interactions, immune responses to infection, and the development of vaccines and therapeutics to combat infectious diseases.
