Immunobiology Program
"A primary focus of this research is directed towards understanding the role of glycoconjugates in normal biological function and disease, an area that has brought us international recognition." |

Dr. Jim Richards, Research Director, Immunobiology Program |
The Immunobiology Program carries out molecular-level research of strategic importance on infectious diseases and cancer. Genomics and proteomics research is playing a central role in Program activities and is leading to new targets for therapeutic intervention and vaccine design. The Immunobiology Program brings together a multidisciplinary team of about 70 scientists and technicians with expertise ranging from biophysics to models of disease pathogenesis. The program structure comprises six distinct groups: Immunomodulation, Infections and Immunity,Antibody Engineering, Molecular Pathogenesis.
