Collaboration and innovation lie at the heart of the MRC HIU. Our research groups work together to understand how the human immune system functions, what happens when it fails, and how we can use our knowledge of these systems to improve patient outcomes. By working together with clinicians, industry and charities, we aim to translate our scientific findings at the HIU so that they can have a positive impact on global health.
