Immunoengineering integrates engineering with immunology to develop immunomodulatory tools to stimulate, regulate and in general control the powers of the immune system to treat diseases including auto-immune diseases, cancer and neurodegerative diseases. The immunoengineering labs at Case focus on various research areas such as:
- Vaccines and immunotherapies
- Immuno-oncology
- Immunometabolism
- Gene therapy
- Microbiome and immunity
- Immunomodulatory biomaterials for neuroprosthetics
- Wound healing
