Immunology & Infectious Disease Healthy Careers

摘要

There is ongoing work in academics and industry on old infectious diseases—such as tuberculosis and malaria—and more recent ones—such as avian influenza and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In addition, immune mediated diseases cause problems throughout the developing and developed worlds. Consequently, the fields of immunology and infectious diseases generate many positions in the life science job market. Infectious and immune mediated diseases create problems around the world. In "Protecting the Nation's Health in an Era of Globalization: CDC's Global Infectious Disease Strategy," the authors write: "It is not possible to adequately protect the health of our nation without addressing infectious disease problems that occur elsewhere in the world." In addition, immune mediated diseases-such as allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders-impact many people. These international concerns create a world of opportunities in research on immunology and infectious diseases.
