Research in Immunology at UVA includes research spanning basic development and regulation of the immune system to clinical trials. Areas of interest includemolecular aspects of B and T lymphocyte development, innate immunity, regulation of immune response quality, lymphocyte trafficking, modulation of immunity to viruses and bacteria, tumor immunology and immunotherapy, allergic diseases, autoimmunity, neuroimmunology and immunological perturbations in cardiovascular disease.TheImmunology Training Programconsists of outstanding faculty, students and post-doctoral fellows performing cutting-edge research in a collaborative and collegial environment. We provide students with an interdisciplinary training experience that emphasizes the breadth of immunology as well as cell and molecular biology. The Training Program is funded in part by an NIH training grant in its 17thyear, with 32 mentors providing cohesion and comprehensiveness.

The Program is integrated with and supported by theDepartment of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology (MIC), theCarter Immunology Center, and theCenter for Immunity, Inflammation, and Regenerative Medicine. It also provides access to many state-of the-artresearch support facilities.

The program provides a creative and vibrant training environment that prepares students for careers in immunology research and the delivery of new and innovative therapies to patients.
