IMMUNOLOGY

Over the last 5-10 years the Institute for Immunology (IFI) has seen unprecedented interest in immunology by investigators in cancer and in neurosciences with the emerging concept that the host immune response plays a major role in disease severity, tumor growth and metastases and chronic degenerative diseases such as muscular dystrophies and Alzheimer's Disease. The National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci has a $6.1 billion budget for 2021 to address its mission to ‘Expand the breadth and depth of knowledge in all areas of infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases'. NIH institutes also include NCI, NIAMS, NEI and NIGMS have made research in immunology a priority, which also support IFI investigators.
