Infectious diseases and immunity

Infectious diseases and immunity research

Our infectious diseases and immunity research focuses on how we can protect children against preventable diseases and allergies through immunisation pathways and policy.

Our researchers are at the forefront of Australia’s effort against childhood infectious disease. Our work on immunisation, vaccine preventable diseases and allergic disorders informs policy and practice nationally and internationally, leading to improved diagnosis and treatment for children.
