Immunotherapy Center of Georgia

The Immunotherapy Center of Georgia is a center of research excellence at Augusta University. Many diseases develop because the immune system is over-active, as in autoimmune diseases (e.g. type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus etc.), or under-active, as in cancer and chronic infectious diseases (e.g. HIV, Hepatitis, TB, Listeria, etc.). The primary role of the immune system is to eliminate microbial infections that cause pathogenic disease.
