Antibiotics and Bacterial Infections

Immunology

Immunology is an incredibly exciting and broad area of the biomedical sciences. Immunology is also fundamental to the life sciences industry; the discipline is core to the development of modern antibody therapies, cellular therapies, small molecule drugs, vaccines and 'biologics' (therapeutic biomolecules). Classical immunology ties in with the fields of epidemiology and medicine. The use of immune system components to treat a disease or disorder is known as immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is most commonly used in the context of the treatment of cancers together with chemotherapy (antibiotics) and radiotherapy (radiation).
