Prof. Pamela Bjorkman

Professor Pamela Bjorkman is a renowned scientist whose research focuses on understanding how the immune system recognizes and fights pathogens. She studies the molecular interactions between immune cells and viruses or cancer cells, particularly the role of proteins called major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Her work helps in developing vaccines and immunotherapies by revealing how our immune system detects threats. Bjorkman’s contributions have advanced knowledge in immunology, leading to potential treatments for infectious diseases and cancer. She is recognized for her innovation and leadership in biomedical research.
