The immune system is involved in many diseases: allergy, cancer, auto-immunity, viral infection and parasitic disease. Therefore whatever your clinical interest, immunology can hold the key to understanding the process of disease and how to modify this process for therapeutic benefit.
As a veterinarian, a career in basic immunology research can be extremely diverse and rewarding. There is also huge amount of scope for comparative clinical research. If you hold a veterinary qualification then please feel free to contact Dr Linda Wooldridge (wooldridgel@cardiff.ac.uk) for more information.
