Laboratory of Immunology (National Institutes of Health)

The Laboratory of Immunology at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a research facility dedicated to studying the immune system—the body's defense mechanism against infections, diseases, and other threats. Researchers here investigate how immune cells function, how to improve vaccines, and develop treatments for immune-related conditions like autoimmune diseases and allergies. Their work contributes to understanding immune responses and advancing medical science, ultimately aiming to improve health and disease management for people worldwide.
