HUMIGEN was formed in January 2007 with a role to bring a long-term program of basic and translational research into being that would address upcoming areas of human immunology and the genetics of immune response.
Our goal is to understand how the immune system works, to explain how genetic variations influence its functions, to use this information to probe disease biology and to identify disease mechanisms and genetic markers that modify disease susceptibility. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the prevention and treatment of immune system-mediated conditions and advance human health. |
