NBIB14019U Immunology (Immun)
BSc Programme in Biology
BSc Programme in Biochemistry
BSc Programme in Molecular Biomedicine
The course will include:
- Cells and mechanisms involved in innate and adaptive immunity
- What is the specific immune system and how is it generated,
- The activation and effector mechanisms of T and B cells,
- Regulation of the immune system in health and disease,
- Autoimmunity, allergy, immune defects and tumor immunology
- Application of immunology in drug development and in the biopharmaceutical industry,
- Introduction to immune systems in non-mammalian organisms.
Knowledge:
The present course will focus on understanding the key elements in
the development, activation and regulation of mammalian and
non-mammalian immune systems.
Skills:
The students will get a solid understanding of mammalian immunology
and innate immunity in a spectra of species. This will include
Insight into how complex organisms defend themselves against
intruders; the evolution of immunity and the never ending arms race
between potential hosts and microbes; how adaptive immunity
develops and functions; how innate immune systems functions; and
how these immune systems are linked and regulated; Autoimmunity,
allergy, immune defects and tumor immunology
Competencies:
Through lectures, seminars, laboratory exercises and presentation
of original literature, the students will be highly qualified to
join research groups that works with all aspects of immunity.
Invited speakers from the biopharmaceutical industry will learn
students about application possibilities and drug
development.
