Immunological Biotechnology

Immunological biotechnology represents a strategy for dissecting and manipulating molecular processes in health and disease and is crucial for the development and optimization of proteins for therapeutic intervention as well as diagnostics.

It is presently getting clear that the immune responses provide the development of many common disorders not traditionally viewed as immunologic, including metabolic, cardiovascular, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Besides, there are direct implications of the immune system in infectious diseases (tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, pneumonia, dysentery, and helminth infestations) as well. Hence, research in the field of immunology is of prime importance for the advancements in the fields of modern medicine, biomedical research, and biotechnology.
