Immunology

Immunology

Our immunology research spans the gamut from basic molecular studies through to clinical trials and new patient treatments.

We are particularly strong in the areas of conventional and unconventional T-cell immunity, cancer immunotherapy, autoimmune disease, homing and trafficking of immune cells and the structure biology of antigen receptors and the ligands they recognise.
