Infectious Disease and Immunology (IDI)
Scientific Scope
The Infectious Disease and Immunology (IDI) Hub broadly investigates the complex interactions between pathogenic microbes and the human host that are fundamental to processes in infection and disease. We capitalize on multiple approaches, including basic studies on the pathogenic microbes, the immune system, and other aspects of host cells and tissues.
