The Center for Immunity, Inflammation & Regenerative Medicine (CIIR)
CIIR was inaugurated in 2007 to advance research initiatives, education, and clinical applications in new and important directions. Current Information
New research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine has shown how our DNA determines our ability to fight off viruses, revealing that many genes work together to control immune cells, tissue inflammation, even our body weight after infection. The research could one day allow doctors to tweak immune cells to enhance their ability to destroy viruses, and it may also assist in the development of new vaccines, among other benefits.
