Summerfield Lab

Systems & Viral Immunology

Our general aim is to understand the functioning of the immune system in veterinary species with the aim to develop better vaccines, better adjuvants, novel immunotherapies, as well as to understand the mechanisms of how pathogens induce disease and spread within animal populations. Using cutting-edge systems immunology approaches, we investigate both innate and adaptive immune responses—bridging basic immunology insights with solutions to improve animal health and disease prevention.
