Our goal is to understand the role of microbes in health and disease and to describe host responses to pathogens, both natural and induced by vaccines, at molecular, structural and systems levels.
We research all aspects of infectious disease from the fundamental science of microbial pathogens, to the clinical outcomes of the infections they cause.
We partner with academics across Imperial College, as well as industry and government agencies, to apply our discoveries to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases.
We aim to inspire the next generation of infectious disease scientists by training undergraduates and postgraduates and developing the careers of our postdoctoral fellows.
We're committed to equality, fairness, and transparency, creating a positive work environment for everyone.
