La Jolla Institute for Immunology

The La Jolla Institute for Immunology is a research center in California dedicated to studying the immune system—the body's defense mechanism against diseases. Their scientists explore how immune cells work, how they recognize and fight infections, and why sometimes they attack the body's own tissues, leading to autoimmune diseases. The institute aims to develop new vaccines, therapies, and diagnostic tools to improve health and combat illnesses like cancer, viral infections, and allergies. Through advanced research, they seek to deepen our understanding of immunity to improve medical treatments and public health outcomes.
