Our immunology research program has helped uncover some of the most important functions of our immune system. George Snell won the 1980 Nobel Prize for his work investigating the genetics of the major histocompatibility complex, a vital component of pathogen and foreign tissue recognition. We have also made significant contributions to research into autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and lupus.
