Immunology

Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that studies the immune system, its functions, and disorders. It encompasses the understanding of how the body defends itself against infections, the mechanisms of immune responses, and the development of immune-related diseases. Immunologists work on diagnosing and treating conditions such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency, and transplant rejection, as well as developing vaccines and immunotherapies.
