Areas of interest and research questions in the Centre for Immunity, Infection and Evolution. Past present and future pathogen evolution How does new disease emerge, virulence evolve and drug resistance spread? Transmission biology and host range What are the drivers of disease spread at the molecular and epidemiological level? Promoting parameterisation Can interaction between traditional experimentation and quantitative analysis derive new insight? Polymorphism and diversity How does evolution shape the genetic polymorphisms that contribute to disease susceptibility? Intrinsic and extrinsic signals Can we exploit host and pathogen signalling networks to promote vaccine efficacy? Optimal immunity How has the immune system evolved to function optimally in the presence of multiple pathogens? This article was published on 2025-03-12
