Department of Immunology
Welcome to the Department of Immunology, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Our department delves into the intricate workings of the immune system, unravelling its complexities and harnessing its power to combat disease and promote health. Our department serves as a nexus for discovery, education, and clinical application. Our expertise spans a wide range of areas including: |
 |
DiagnosticsWe specialise in advanced laboratory tests crucial for the diagnosis and management of:
|
ResearchOur research endeavours focus on both fundamental and translational aspects of:
|
EducationWe are committed to nurturing the next generation of immunologists. Our programmes offer:
|
The principles that govern the body's immune system is complex. Hence, we aim to determine these underlying principles and to uncover how they give rise to various immunological disorders such as autoimmunity, allergies, immunodeficiencies, as well as vaccines against infectious diseases and determining novel targets for cancer immunotherapies.
All these will not be possible without novel approaches to data analytics, innovative methods, and most importantly, research collaborations. Our discoveries will be part of the broader picture to understanding the body's defense mechanisms. These are with hopes to developing therapies to treat immunological disorders, as well as to leverage the incredible properties of our immune system to combat diseases. Thus, join us in this exciting journey to unlock the secrets of the body's protection mechanisms.
