Description: The Immunology module of the Core Curriculum will provide first year graduate students in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences with an overview of the immune system, its various components, and its importance to homeostasis in the body. The course will describe how the immune system develops the necessary diversity to protect us against the seemingly endless variety of pathogens that exist, and what can happen when immune system components are dysfunctional or respond inappropriately.
