Morris Kahn Institute
for Human Immunology

The Morris Kahn Institute for Human Immunology is dedicated to understanding acquired immunity - the cellular and molecular processes that lead to the generation of protective antibodies in response to vaccination or pathogen invasion. By examining and characterizing successful immune responses, the scientists aim to pave the way for new approaches for manipulating the immune system and directing it against cancerous tumors.
