Research Bench Lab

Host Defense

Research focused on immune host defense provided by both passive and active mechanisms and are involved in defining host susceptibility or resistance to infection, trauma, or other disease threats.

Hands over tablet collaboration

Immune Disorders

Research focused on immune disorders investigates human immune and inflammatory responses against its own healthy cells and tissues that result in disease.

Researcher analysis with machine

Immuno-Oncology

Immuno-oncology research is the study and development of treatments that take advantage of the body's immune system to fight cancer.

Molecular Immunology

Molecular immunology research studies the proteomic, genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic pathways controlling the immune response.

Activities

Annual Immunology Scientific Retreat

Annual Immunology Scientific Retreat

The Immunology Scientific Retreat offers a yearly opportunity for Center members to showcase, present, and discuss current basic, translational, and clinical research to each other and the broader research community at MCW. Yearly focus topics include a presentation from an invited Distinguished Lecturer. The day-long format includes talks by principal investigators and abstract presentations, followed by a poster session and social events to feature and discuss the research successes from faculty, staff, and trainees.

Immunology Research Roundtable

Immunology Research Roundtable

Immunology Research Roundtable is a weekly seminar opportunity for faculty, staff, and trainees to come together and share immunology-related research on campus. The series runs from September to May and is designed to build a sense of community, promote open and honest discussion, and foster collaboration among researchers.
