Immunology and Genomic Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A research lab that explores the fundamentals of immunity, starting from how vaccines work.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on the fundamental questions of immunity.
The Immunology and Genomic Medicine Lab tackles fundamental questions in immunology, such as how vaccines are able to prevent infectious diseases.
Students and postdocs here work at the forefront of research worldwide and seek to tackle the fundamentals of immunity.
The lab aims to train independent researchers who learn experimental methods in molecular biology and immunology and have the ability to view life as a whole.
