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
