Immunology

A crucial area of the medical and biological sciences, immunology is the study of the immune system. Our immune system defends us against infection via a number of different mechanisms. Diseases including cancer, allergies, and autoimmunity can develop if the immune system is not working properly.

The immune system is a group of cells and proteins that work to defend the skin, nasal passages, digestive tract, and other organs from external antigens including viruses, cancerous cells, poisons, and microbes (organisms like bacteria, fungus, and parasites). Innate immunity and adaptive immunity can be conceptualised as its two "lines of defence" in a simplified manner.
