The division brings together more than a hundred collaborators, researchers, clinicians, teacher-researchers, as well as young scientists or physicians in training, and is closely linked to the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne.
The research is conducted by internationally renowned researchers with the objective of advancing knowledge on the biological mechanisms controlling physiological and pathological situations of the human immune system. Our research allows the rapid transfer and interpretation of knowledge and innovative technologies towards diagnostic and therapeutic applications for the benefit of patients. It is developed through multidisciplinary teams of researchers and clinicians, ensuring a two-way flow of knowledge: from the patient to basic research and from basic research to the patient.
