Immune System in Health and Disease Discovery Advisory Group
This advisory group shortlists candidates for Wellcome Career Development Awards and Wellcome Discovery Awards.
Its remit covers applications that aim to improve our understanding of the function of the human immune system in homeostasis and development, and in protecting against or promoting disease.
Examples include:
- molecular and cellular immunology, including tissue and barrier immunology
- systems immunology
- immune regulation and dysregulation, inflammation, allergy and autoimmunity
- immune response to infection and commensals
- immunity and disease susceptibility or resistance
- understanding immunological mechanisms, which may include the study of vaccine candidates, adjuvants, immunotherapies or immunomodulators
