| Description |
|
Founded in 1988, the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) is one of only a few non-profit research institutions in the world focused on understanding the immune response to infectious agents and cancers and on advancing progress toward the prevention, treatment and cure of immune system diseases.
Sometimes in science there are so many people trying to answer the same question that it's good to stray off in another direction, Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., LIAI president and scientific director. Taking the road less traveled can bring its voyagers to unexpected - and even groundbreaking - new territory.
LIAI's researchers, many of them world-renowned scientists, are exploring the body's defense system at the molecular and cellular levels. We are making important discoveries about how the immune system works and the causes of immune system disorders. By unraveling the complexities of the immune system, LIAI researchers are providing critical insights that are moving science closer to the prevention, treatment and cure of numerous illnesses including infectious diseases and cancer, as well as immune system disorders such as diabetes, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. |
