Immunologists in Cambridge work across a wide range of research areas. For further information on the main research themes given below, click on the theme. People who work within a theme are listed below it. The research of many cuts across multiple themes.
Autoimmunity and inflammation
Investigating the causes of excessive and aberrant immune responses which result in inflammation and autoimmune disease
Cellular immune responses and immune regulation
Immune responses involve the activation and coordination of specialized cells and mediators. We aim to unravel these tightly regulated and complex interactions
Clinical and translational immunology
Translating basic immunological discoveries into clinically useful tools
Immunity and host defences
Host responses fight microbial infection and disease and understanding these will optimise vaccination
Innate immunity
Innate immunity is critical in recognition of and response to pathogens and tumours, including directing the adaptive immune system
Molecular and structural immunology
Molecular and structural techniques play a major role in the understanding of immunological processes at the molecular level
Transplantation
Understanding and minimising transplant rejection
