This session focuses on infectious disease mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, and immunological responses. Discussions will cover vaccine development, antimicrobial resistance, and immune modulation strategies. Infectious diseases remain a global health threat, necessitating research efforts to develop effective vaccines, diagnostic tools, and therapeutics. By sharing immunology and infectious disease research findings, this session aims to advance understanding of pathogen biology, improve disease prevention and control measures, and foster international collaboration in combating emerging infectious diseases and global health challenges.
