Description:

This joint Honours course combines the study of Immunology with Microbiology. Immunology is the study of how the body defends itself against disease. It helps us understand how the immune system is tricked into attacking its own tissue, leading to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes or allergy.

Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes). Microbes are a major cause of disease in humans but they can also be useful in industrial processes from pollution control to the production of important therapeutic compounds. The development of both has long been linked with the development of vaccines for smallpox and anthrax by Jenner and Pasteur respectively.
