Immunoengineering is a portmanteau of immune engineering and refers to a new discipline that applies on create engineering tools and principles to both investigate and change the immune system. Immunoengineering is considered to be a revolutionary tool in medicines including oncology, autoimmunity, infectious diseases, transplantation, and others.

Immunoengineering is an important tool as dysfunction of the immune system plays an important role in several diseases that range from inflammation to cancer through autoimmunity and transplant rejection. Therapies based on immunomodulation and engineering strategies are therefore instrumental in the treatment of these diseases.

Immunoengineering allows the quantitative control of immune cells and the signaling to both strengthen the understanding of the immune system and develop new immunotherapies.
