Cell and Molecular Immunology

Cell and molecular immunology studies how our immune system's cells and molecules work together to defend the body against infections and diseases. It examines the specific roles of immune cells like T cells and B cells, and how they communicate through signals and chemicals to identify and eliminate threats. This field also explores the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate immune responses, helping us understand how immunity develops, adapts, and sometimes malfunctions, leading to allergies, autoimmune diseases, or cancer. Essentially, it uncovers the intricate biological processes that keep us healthy and aid in developing better treatments.
