Introduction
General immunology is a fundamental discipline that explores the complex interactions between the immune system and foreign invaders, such as pathogens or abnormal cells. It encompasses the study of the immune response, immunological mechanisms, and how the immune system contributes to health and disease.
History
The history of immunology traces back to ancient times when humans observed the concept of immunity through practices like variolation. The development of vaccines and the discovery of antibodies marked significant milestones. Modern immunology emerged with the identification of immune cells, cytokines, and the elucidation of immune mechanisms.
Noteworthy Personnel
Several influential individuals have significantly contributed to the field of immunology. Dr. Emil von Behring s work on serum therapy earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Dr. James Allison s research on immune checkpoints revolutionized cancer immunotherapy.
Evolution till Date
General immunology has evolved from descriptive observations to in-depth molecular and cellular analyses. Advances in technology, such as flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing, have allowed a deeper understanding of immune cell types, their functions, and the underlying molecular pathways.

I have completed my 6 month dissertation in NTHRYS biotech labs. The lab is adequately equipped with wonderful, attentive and receptive staff. It is a boon to the students venturing into research as well as to students who would like to garner lab exposure. I had a pleasant experience at NTHRYS thanks to Balaji S. Rao Sir for his constant support, mettle and knowledge. I would also like to give special regards to Zarin Mam for teaching me the concepts of bioinformatics with great ease and for helping me in every step of the way. I extend my gratitude to Vijaya Mam, and Sindhu Mam for helping me carry out the project smoothly.
