In the Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine (DIIIRM), we focus on two main areas:
The immune system must help us fight infection but remain silent against innocuous substances and our own body tissue. Failure to do so can lead to chronic infection, allergic disease, or inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
DIIIRM is home to a world-leading group of immunologists working on a range of different immune cells, tissues, and disorders, ranging from pre-clinical models to human translational immunology in the clinic.
Major strengths include the study of immune responses at barrier sites such as the lung, gut, oral cavity and reproductive tract. Immunity to infectious disease, particularly at barrier sites, is a focus, including viral and bacterial pathogens, protozoan parasites such as malaria and trypanosomes, and a major interest in helminth parasites.
Neuroimmunology is a rapidly growing area, as is the role of the microbiome in underpinning immune function.
Collaboration is extensive between research groups. Indeed, the great breadth and diversity of immunology research at Manchester has been drawn together into a multidisciplinary research institute, The Lydia Becker Institute of Immunology and Inflammation, emphasising how immunology plays an ever-increasing role in modern medicine, and giving more details on our areas of strength in immunology research.
We conduct discovery science from disease mechanisms through experimental medicine to clinical trials aiming to optimise treatment of common respiratory diseases by enabling precision medicine.
Major themes in respiratory medicine are:
