Abstract: | Scientific knowledge of our complex immune system has flourished over the past two decades. Our scientific progress, catalysed by fundamental research, is now being applied to treating infections, immune-mediated diseases and cancer. Immunotherapies are coming to the forefront as a way to manipulate our immune system for our benefit. While standard drugs targeting the immune system remain an important component of clinical medicine, doctors are excitedly adopting so-called biological therapeutics or biologics due to their higher precision and lower side effects. And scientists in Malta are playing a role in this process of discovery. |
