Learn moreAbout This Simulation
Have you ever wondered what infections look like from the pathogen’s perspective? If our immune systems are so amazing, why do we get sick at all? During this simulation, you’ll undertake a series of challenges in preparation for an important global health investigation. Can you complete each task and add to the planet’s immunological understanding?
Exploring the immune system
The immune system is a complex army of cells and tissues that work together to protect your body from infection. In this simulation, you’ll play the part of a pathogen and try to establish an infectious colony within a human body. As the immune system fights back, you will gain a unique perspective on how immune cells work to destroy incoming pathogens. Will you manage to evade the different immune responses and colonize the body?
Placing individual immunity in a global health context
By exploring data maps from pivotal moments in human history you will see how an individual’s immunological status contributes to the health of their community and the spread of disease worldwide. You’ll meet the key cells involved in immune memory and explore the role of immunization in protecting people from preventable diseases.
Investigating immunity using serological techniques
Researchers from around the world collaborate to give humanity the broadest possible understanding of pathogenicity, infection rates and the changing prevalence of diseases across the world. Confirming the immunization rates and the presence of new infection cases in local communities is vital to help allocate healthcare resources to populations worldwide. By undertaking your own serological investigation, you will contribute your data to the global immunological picture. How can you help healthcare professionals better protect communities around the world?
