Infectious Diseases and Immunology
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. Researchers aim to understand the interactions between these microorganisms and immune cells in order to develop vaccines and therapies against infectious diseases.
Below is a collection of scientific resources for your infectious disease research.

The Immune Response to HIV Poster
Nina Bhardwaj, Florian Hladik and Susan Moir. This Poster summarizes how HIV establishes infection at mucosal surfaces, the ensuing immune response to the virus involving DCs, B cells and T cells, and how HIV subverts this response to establish a chronic infection.
