Immunology, or Immune and host responses broadly includes Cancer Immunology, Respiratory and Infectious Diseases.
Southampton research themes include:
- Cancer Immunology: is the interdisciplinary study of how our immune system interacts with cancer as it develops, and Immunotherapy is the application of this knowledge to create revolutionary new treatments capable of boosting the body's immune system to find and destroy cancer.
- Respiratory: Our research is aimed at understanding major lung conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung fibrosis and acute and chronic infections to improve patient healthcare.
- Infectious Diseases: Our researchers are taking pre-clinical discoveries and translating them into meaningful treatments, diagnostics and drugs, which are having a positive effect on people’s lives.
