Immunology
Immunology program teach students about the immune system, a built-in defense mechanism that protects humans and animals from viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms. As a future immunologist, you will use advanced research skills and biology knowledge to prevent infections and protect people’s health. Immunology is the study of the immune system and how the immune response differs between individuals both healthy and not. It’s a complex field that provides the basis of our questions in public health and individual diagnosis. It looks at the characteristics of the immune system in humans as well as other species of animal and plants. Immunology tells us how to prevent, treat, and eradicate disease as well as form an understanding of how the body reacts to different conditions. Adaptive immunity is responsible for some of our biggest successes within the field, and our continued research into what causes disease could help us live longer, more quality lives. It also might teach us more about our survival and help us prevent the extinction of other species.
