OUR MISSION
The Center for Immunobiology at the Indiana University School of Medicine
is committed to be a worldwide leader in the investigation of the
immunological basis of disease.
Director David Wilkes, MD, leads an interdisciplinary group of faculty from one of IUSM's most modern research facilities. Co-director is Janice Blum, PhD, professor of Medicine and Microbiology/Immunology.
PRIMARY GOALS
- To develop interdepartmental, collaborative, basic science, clinical and translational research programs focused on organ transplant immunology, autoimmunity, innate and acquired immunity and the immunobiology of cancer.
- To develop training programs for MD and PhD post doctoral fellows.
- To serve as a pipeline for the recruitment of MD and PhD students into careers of research related to the immunobiology of human diseases.
- To develop philanthropy as a means to augment the mission and support of the Center.
RESEARCH FOCI
Meet faculty members whose research is focused on transplant immunology, innate immunology, autoimmunity, and tumor immunology.
FACILITIES & RESOURCES
The Center is currently located on the second floor south of the newly renovated Medical Science Building. It occupies approximately 12,000 square feet which includes 8 laboratories, 9 laboratory support rooms, 12 offices, 1 administration office and support area, and a conference room and break area. We move to IUSM's Research III building in 2008.
