Immunoengineering is the application of engineering tools and principles to quantitatively study the immune system in health and disease and to develop new therapies or improve existing therapies by precisely controlling and modulating a patient’s immune response.
Researchers at the Center work in collaboration with partners at Emory University including the Emory Vaccine Center, The Lowance Center for Human Immunology, The Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Emory Children’s Center and the Pediatric Research Centers, The Winship Cancer Institute, etc., as well as with researchers at various colleges and universities around Georgia.
Our Mission:
The IE Center envisions a future where the fusion of engineering and immunology transforms the landscape of human health, targeting critical disease areas: cancer, aging, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and inflammation. We bring together engineers, biologists, clinicians, and industry leaders to deliver innovative solutions that address these global challenges. Our mission is to lead the charge in personalized and predictive healthcare, leveraging state-of-the-art technology and translational research to create therapies that are more effective, less invasive, and widely accessible. This bold vision establishes the IE Center as a beacon of hope and progress to sustain and amplify its life-changing work.
Our Dual Commitment:
Education: We train the next generation of leaders, equipping them to translate immune-based technologies from lab to clinic to marketplace.
Discovery: We push the boundaries of immunoengineering to develop innovative tools and therapies with real-world impact.
