CENTER

Center 6 – Immunological Medical Sciences

The Immunological Medical Sciences Center investigates immune system dysregulation and inflammatory signaling associated with post-infectious disease. Research within this center focuses on the mechanisms through which immune responses may remain activated or altered following viral infection. The immune system plays a central role in coordinating recovery after infection. However, persistent immune activation, inflammatory signaling, or immune imbalance may contribute to ongoing symptoms and multisystem dysfunction in some patients. Research within this center examines immune signaling pathways, inflammatory responses, immune cell communication, and the development of immune-related complications that may arise following infection. Particular attention is given to immune regulation, autoimmune phenomena, and the interactions between immune activity and other organ systems. The Immunological Center collaborates with all other RAPID research programs to understand how immune system dynamics influence cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and systemic recovery processes.
