Mission Statement |
The goal of the Department of Immunology
is to provide a focus for the advancement of knowledge in immunology
through research and education. The immune system plays crucial roles
in fighting infectious diseases and cancer, in allergy, autoimmunity
and immunopathology. Research within the Department of Immunology
focuses on the cellular, molecular and organismal levels to understand
development, function, and regulation of the immune system from the
most fundamental mechanisms to therapeutic applications. Education
centers around the Immunology Graduate Program, the M.D., D.M.D. and
combined degree (M.D./Ph.D and D.M.D./Ph.D.) programs, and the training
of postdoctoral and clinical fellows. |
