Departmental Focus

Immunology is the study of the immune system, the body's defense against infectious disease. In this complex system a defect in a single gene or the control of a single cell can have an enormous effect on the health of the individual. In this way, the immune system and cancer are similar. The Department of Immunology at St. Jude studies the biology of the system whose cells are a major source of childhood cancers, and by understanding these cells and how they are controlled, we gain new insights into such cancers.
