Funded Activity Summary

The Australian Ultraviolet Radiation and Immunity Study (AusUVI) is an innovative epidemiological study assessing the impact of naturally acquired ultraviolet radiation on the immune response to vaccination with implications for response to infection, vaccination effectiveness and rates of autoimmune disease. Human exposure to ultraviolet radiation may alter in many regions due to climate change related effects on behaviour and clothing patterns, cloud cover and other atmospheric conditions.
