The Tumor, Transplant and Tolerance (TTT) Scientific Retreat that was to be held on April 1 at the University Club will be rescheduled for next spring. As soon as the date is confirmed, it will be posted.

The Department of Immunology's 18th Annual Scientific Retreat scheduled for October 8-9 at Oglebay Resort has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please continue to hold these dates, as a one-day virtual event may be held instead. We look forward to returning to Oglebay on October 7-8, 2021.

Our Research

Immunology is the science of the study of the immune system. Over millions of years, the immune system has evolved to preserve the barriers between self and non-self. Through an intricate system of pathways, molecules and cells present in every tissue of the body, the immune system protects us from pathogens. However, a disregulated immune system is also implicated in many diseases such as diabetes, lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. By understanding the immune system we can improve vaccination, control autoimmunity and prevent or reverse infectious diseases and cancer. Learn More >
