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.
