Immunology

Immunologists specialize in the study of the immune system, its functioning, and the development of immune system disorders. They also focus on finding effective treatments, therapies, and vaccines to combat infections, illnesses, and cancer. With a broad range of applications, immunologists work in various fields such as biomedical research, healthcare, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Their work involves investigating the human immune system, developing new test methods, diagnosing and treating patients with immune disorders or allergies, prescribing drugs and therapies, analyzing patient samples, monitoring transplant patients, evaluating diagnostic tests, and conducting immunological therapies. Additionally, they play a crucial role in evaluating and implementing promising immunotherapy strategies through planning, creating, and validating cell-based assays, as well as planning and implementing in vitro studies using primary immune cells to identify T cell responses. Immunologists also create laboratory reports and maintain records to ensure accurate documentation of their findings and progress. General Responsibilities: 1. Developing new test methods 2.
