Our focus is immunology, because we believe that no other biomedical discipline has greater implications for human health than immunology. By unraveling the complexities of the immune system, LJI researchers are directly tackling an extraordinarily diverse array of diseases, which together account for more than two-thirds of all deaths in the U.S. each year. Such diseases include type 1 diabetes, cancer, COVID-19, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, allergies, influenza, dengue fever, and many other illnesses. La Jolla Institute is home to four research centers that focus the efforts of collaborative groups of researchers on defined areas of inquiry, to accelerate progress toward the development of new treatments and vaccines to prevent and cure autoimmune conditions, cancer, and infectious disease, and to uncover the largely unexplored sex-specific variables in immune responses. LJI is host to three national databases that give biomedical researchers free access to the world’s largest collection of epitopes and related scientific data and provide insights into how genes act within the immune system to set it in motion. Life without Disease is a pursuit that requires a continually expanding understanding of the immune system, and the ability to translate knowledge and discoveries developed in scientific research into technologies that improve life and health.

关于我们
"Sometimes in science there are so many people trying to answer the same question that it's good to stray off in another direction," Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., LJI Professor. "Taking the road less traveled can bring its voyagers to unexpected - and even groundbreaking - new territory." The La Jolla Institute The La Jolla Institute for Immunology is a non-profit medical research institute dedicated to increasing knowledge and improving human health through studies of the immune system. Our essential purpose is to expand our understanding of how the immune system works and to discover the causes of immune system disorders. The knowledge gained through our biomedical research can, in turn lead to the prevention, treatment and cure of a wide range of human diseases. What is immunology? Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune response. The immune response is the defense system of the body carried out by white blood cells against microbial threats such as a virus infection. Since immunology has an effect on every organ system in our body, there is no biomedical discipline that has greater implications for improving human health. Where is LJI? The La Jolla Institute is located in the University of California San Diego's Science Research Park in a world-class facility covering 145,000 square feet. Our space provides an open laboratory setting that encourages La Jolla Institute for Immunology's highly collaborative research environment.
