Innate Immunity

The Program in Innate Immunity launched in 2014. PII is an interdisciplinary group of investigators, centered in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, who are focused on discovering the underlying mechanisms that drive immune defenses and inflammation, in both health and disease.  Investigations in the program range from very basic studies, in invertebrate and vertebrate model systems, to translational and clinical studies of infectious, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
