    Frequently Asked Questions about Immunology

    • Immunology is the branch of science dealing with the components of the immune system, immunity from disease, the immune response, and immunologic techniques of analysis. The immune system protects the body from pathogens and other foreign substances; destroys infected and malignant cells; and removes cellular debris.

      The study of the immune system is highly important for disease prevention. If the immune system is not functioning as it should, it can result in disease, allergy, and cancer. Advancing our understanding of Immunology has facilitated the discovery of new diagnostics and treatments for such afflictions.‎

    • According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Medical Immunologist job growth is expected to be driven by an increase in the elderly population and other related factors. Learners can enjoy employment options in various sectors including government agencies, private healthcare services, pharmaceutical companies, medical schools, and veterinary hospitals. Immunology roles that learners can aim for include Research Scientist, Physician, Pediatrician, Higher-Education Lecturer, Epidemiologist, Teacher, Veterinarian, Lab Technician, Science Writer, Natural Sciences Manager, and more.‎

    • Immunology courses offered through Coursera equip students with the basic concepts and vocabulary of Immunology, including: T cell function and the coordination of the immune response, the cells and organs of the immune system, antigens and antibodies, and other related topics.

      Lessons on Immunology are administered by Cell Biology Instructors, Biochemistry Instructors, and others from major universities through video lectures, readings, quizzes, and applied-learning projects.‎

    • A background in science or any healthcare field can be beneficial for anyone who plans to study immunology. This could include work, volunteer opportunities, and high school or college courses in topics like biology, physics, physiology, chemistry, anatomy, organic chemistry, genetics, microbiology, and psychology. This may also include work or volunteer opportunities in a research institution, laboratory, hospital, doctor's office, clinic, or nursing home. A strong background in advanced math, including calculus, is also helpful. Computer science skills can also help you. Even reading and researching about vaccines, pandemics, diseases, and viruses can help prepare you for studying immunology.‎

    • Roles in immunology typically involve either scientific research or working as a physician or other medical professional, so a desire to help others is a must for this field. Either way, you'll need to be good at research and analyzing, as well as a lifelong learner. New treatments for illnesses are discovered all the time. Good written and verbal communication skills are important for anyone in the field of immunology, as are management and leadership skills.

If you're interested in a career in scientific research or the healthcare field, you may consider studying immunology. Many people who choose to study this branch of biology end up going to medical school to become an immunologist or a physician in other branches of medicine, like psychiatry, oncology, virology, dermatology, or rheumatology. Studying immunology could lead to a career working in a research lab, hospital, university, or doctor's office.
