Immunology, the study of the immune system, has contributed significantly to modern medicine in areas such as blood transfusion, vaccination, organ transplantation, and the treatment of allergy, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. Immunology has also made vital contributions to cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology, and is starting to make major inroads into the food industry, agriculture and veterinary science.
