Immunologist careers

An Immunologist studies the immune system to understand how it defends the body against disease. You might work in a hospital, research laboratory, or university. Immunologists focus on diagnosing and treating immune system disorders, conducting research to develop new treatments, and improving vaccines. You’ll prepare and perform tests to analyse how the immune system functions and develop strategies to combat diseases.

Immunologists play an important role in public health. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and analytical, with strong problem-solving skills. You’ll liaise with other medical professionals and researchers to ensure patients receive the best care and that research findings are effectively translated into clinical practice.
