Research Project:

Immune Attack

Exploiting the stunning three-dimensional (3D) graphics and gripping interactive and motivational experiences of modern game technology Immune Attack© combines 3D depiction of biological structure and function with advanced educational technologies to provide an introduction to basic concepts in immunology for high school and college students. Unlike many previous educational media and materials, Immune Attack© is intended to be as fun and compelling as the computer games currently played by many adolescents and young adults. Students are motivated with a series of progressively more difficult challenges in a compelling gaming environment in which success depends on increasingly sophisticated grasp of concepts in immunology.
