Possible research topics in infectious diseases and immunology include the following,
but are not limited to:
• Intersections between chronic and infectious disease, including co- and multi-morbidities
o common risk factors that aggravate the condition (e.g. tobacco, obesity)
o immune response, inflammation, metabolism, and microbiome
• Novel vaccine immunogens for combatting emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases
• Utilization of microfluidics for discovery of antibody-based therapeutics against antimicrobial resistance
• Pandemic preparedness and response (e.g., surveillance, interventions, public awareness and prevention, vaccine development, climate change)
• Multi-OMICS approach towards discovery and innovation – Host immune responses to infectious diseases
• Novel antibody therapeutics and vaccine immunogens for combatting antimicrobial-resistant pathogens
• Effective public health infection control and prevention methods
