The dynamic interface of genetics and immunity: toward future horizons in health & disease

Understanding the genetic basis of immunological processes and their overall dynamics under the influence of population immunogenetics and host-microbe interactions has been at the core of health and disease research. Our understanding of these dynamics has recently undergone a paradigm shift with the application of high-resolution single cell or spatial omics technologies that have facilitated a deeper understanding of healthy or diseased immune milieu. At Genes & Immunity, we wish to revamp the journal to cater to these trends and bring together researchers working at these multidisciplinary interfaces of immunology and genetics, with the aim of advancing fundamental and translational knowledge while revealing new immunotherapy or biomarker modalities.
