Immunologist

 
Background
Immunologists study how the body's immune system works and fights off diseases like infections and cancer. They conduct experiments in laboratories, analyse blood samples, and develop new treatments and vaccines to help people stay healthy. Their work involves using microscopes, computers, and specialised equipment to understand how white blood cells and antibodies protect us.
