Immunomics

Immunomics is the study of how our immune system works. Our immune system is what helps us fight off infections and stay healthy. It works by recognizing things that aren't supposed to be in our body (like bacteria and viruses) and then sending out special cells to attack and get rid of those things. Immunomics is the study of how our bodies understand and respond to different kinds of bacteria and viruses. Scientists use things like computer modeling and laboratory experiments to study our immune system and figure out ways to make it work better.
