Inflammation Science

Inflammation science is vital to understanding the immune system as well as the cause and role of inflammation in many chronic diseases, including arthritis, cancer, and multiple sclerosis. Investments in this area facilitate the exploration of the interplay among inflammation, organ systems, the immune system, environmental factors, and genetics. 
 
Yale’s preeminent investigators, working across the basic, translational, and clinical sciences, are studying inflammation and applying their discoveries to preventing, treating, and curing diseases.

Highlighting Progress

Center for Infection and Immunity (CII)

Researchers affiliated with the center work to produce better diagnoses, treatments, and ultimately cures for post-infection acute and chronic diseases, autoimmunity, and aging-related diseases.

CII

Tananbaum Center for Theoretical and Analytical Human Biology

This new center focuses on inflammation as an agent in all human diseases, using a collaborative model that brings together researchers in areas such as data science, computer science, physics, and biology.
