Medical microbiology
Medical microbiology comprises studies of microorganisms that have the ability to cause illness in humans. One of the pioneers in the field was Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), the man behind the rabies vaccine and the pasteurization of milk and wine. Research at LiU is directed towards allergies, infection, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases, as well as the origin of biofilm on tissues, and medical tools.
