The Wellcome Trust DPhil in Infection, Immunology and Translational Medicine (IITM) provides integrated training in infection and immunology, and how fundamental research can be translated into benefits for human health. The course offers outstanding opportunities for research in basic mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, immune and inflammatory responses to infection, and the development of drugs and vaccines.
