Research in Integrative Immunobiology spans a broad range of exciting areas of contemporary immunobiology and applied immunology. These include innate and adaptive immunity, host-microbe interactions, lymphocyte development, immune homeostasis, immunological tolerance and autoimmunity, immunological memory, tumor immunology, neuroimmunology, and vaccine development.
Integrative Immunobiology investigators also study basic molecular processes, including signal transduction, transcription, recombination, and epigenetics. Our ability to perform cutting-edge research is enhanced by a rich array of state-of-the-art core facilities.
The Life Cycle of a Biomedical Research Grant
From cancer-fighting drugs to asthma inhalers and heart transplant breakthroughs, many lifesaving treatments start with research in a university lab. Federal grants fund this work through a rigorous review process, fueling discoveries and training the next generation of scientists. Curious how it all happens? Watch the video to see the life cycle of a biomedical research grant — and how research funding drives innovation and saves lives.
