Welcome to Cambridge Immunology

Cambridge Immunology is a virtual focus for the community of immunologists working in and around Cambridge. It builds on a rich tradition of immunological research in Cambridge, and brings together groups whose work ranges from discovery of the basic molecular mechanisms underpinning the immune response through to applications relevant to the clinic, to industry and to global health.
