Speaking about the Unit, Professor Alison Simmons, Director of the MRC TIDU, said:

“Here at the MRC Translational Immune Discovery Unit, we pioneer the future in immune system exploration to uncover the mechanisms of immune-mediated diseases. We innovate our discoveries to create new treatments for patients".
