MSc in Immunopharmacology

Immunopharmacology is the intersection of immunology and pharmacology. It encompasses pharmacology of the mediators and cells which drive dysfunctional immunity and inflammation, how they interact to provide a robust response, and how dysfunctions in these pathways lead to pathology. Research in this area focuses on drugs that modulate the immune system, thus drawing from a diverse field of disciplines such as immunology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, cell biology, molecular biology and organic/synthetic/medicinal chemistry. The increasing awareness of immune system dysfunction as a basis of most chronic diseases has given rise to this discipline to the extent that there are several journals that focus specifically on immunopharmacological research.
