This immune system provides our body’s defense against invading organisms like viruses, preventing disease and maintaining health. Immunity involves the interaction of several different cell types that together form arsenals tailored to combat each different infection. Professor Heath will investigate how cells of the immune system orchestrate effective immune responses to viral infections and malaria. He will use this understanding to design novel approaches to vaccination.

这种免疫系统为我们的身体提供防御入侵的生物体，如病毒，预防疾病和保持健康。免疫力涉及几种不同细胞类型的相互作用，这些细胞共同形成了针对每种不同感染的武库。Heath教授将研究免疫系统细胞如何协调对病毒感染和疟疾的有效免疫反应。他将利用这种理解来设计新的疫苗接种方法。
