Organisation profile
Organisation profile
The Scottish Fish Immunology Research Centre was opened in June 2003 with support from the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council.
It aims to strengthen collaborative research in fish health in Scotland. It brings together expertise from the University of Aberdeen, University of Stirling and Marine Scotland Science, to address fundamental and applied issues relating to fish health.
It conducts research and development programmes ranging from fish vaccine development to impacts of stress and nutrition on immune function, with multi-site validation of results a key strength.
