Infection Biology

Infection biology studies how microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites invade the body, multiply, and cause disease. It explores how these pathogens interact with our immune system, how they spread within the host, and how they adapt to overcome defenses. Understanding these processes helps develop effective treatments, vaccines, and prevention strategies. Essentially, it combines the study of infectious agents and the biological mechanisms behind infections, aiming to control and prevent diseases caused by these microorganisms.
