Immunology is a very vast field and many of us conduct research in this field for different reasons. If asked: What does immunology mean to you? What would you say? Watch videos by Immunopaedia ambassadors that highlight how immunology is a tool for understanding diseases and improving health, while others discussed how many different cells work together to prevent the development of diseases.

The COVID-19 pandemic has effected all of us in different ways, Ranjeet Singh Mahla highlights the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on immunology research and management of other diseases. Particularly the diversion of resources for the diagnosis, treatment & research efforts for other diseases e.g. #TB, #cardiovascular disease, cancer etc.

Do you have a favourite immune cells? How would you describe this cell to your none-immunologists peers or children? Some of us like, Amy Monaco and a  do have favourite cells, and in some case focus our whole immunology career on that cell.
