Welcome to the School of Immunology & Microbial Sciences. We undertake research, education and training in the related areas of immunobiology, inflammation and infectious diseases – with the collective goal of improving human health and wellbeing. Our multi-disciplinary approach to research focuses on understanding the immune system, how it functions in times of health and disease and how it can be stimulated or suppressed for the benefit of patients and populations. We are deeply committed to educating the next generations of scientists, researchers and clinicians, and deliver a raft of research-inspired programmes for students and trainees at all career stages.
