The National Institutes of Health is home to an extraordinary community of researchers and clinicians in the field of immunology. Over 200 labs in the intramural research programs of many Institutes and Centers that make up the NIH pursue basic, translational and clinical research on the immune system, including allergy, infectious diseases, primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, cancer and transplant immunology, and autoimmunity. These research groups interact through interest groups, scientific collaborations, seminar series, minisymposia, and an annual retreat . There are many opportunities for research and clinical training in immunology at NIH from the high school to the post-doctoral level at the main campus of the NIH in Bethesda, MD, where the Mark O. Hatfield Cinical Center, a state-of-the art 242 bed research hospital, is located, as well as at satellite campuses in Baltimore, MD, Research Triangle, NC, and the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana .
