Facility Details

Modern immunological techniques are sophisticated and powerful, and can be applied effectively to many basic and clinical projects. However, it is difficult for any one investigator to become expert in all of these complex techniques and expertise in immunology is typically spread across different Departments. The Human Immunology Center (HIC) within the David H. Smith Center for Vaccine Biology and Immunology has been established to acquire, refine and develop expertise in cutting-edge techniques and to support applications in Human Immunology research. The HIC is designed with capabilities to enhance multi-disciplinary research initiatives catalyzing key clinical and basic immunology research in vaccines, HIV/AIDS, autoimmunity, allergy/asthma, transplantation as well as cancer immunology.
