Immunology Theme studies chronic immune disorders with a significant health and economic burden due to the potential to cause organ failure, if not recognised early, and the requirement for complex immunosuppression protocols. The focuses here are on diseases relevant to the local population grouped into (i) antibody-mediated disorders; (ii) thrombo-inflammation; (iii) glomerulonephritis and (iv) renal transplantation. This theme combines the world-leading immunology and inflammation expertise within the academic Centres for Inflammatory Disease and Haematology with the translational expertise of multidisciplinary Clinical Centres. This supports three aims: to ensure timely and accurate diagnosis, to fully optimise immunosuppression treatment and to explore novel therapeutics.
