Molecular and Cellular Immunology/Immunology (PATH-5210/N5211)
Molecular and Cellular Immunology/Immunology:
This graduate level course aims at covering the
basics of the immune response followed by presentations
of new developments in the field. There are no pre-requisites
for the course but previous exposure to immunology
is an asset. The topics covered include cells and
tissues involved in both innate and acquired immunity,
analysis of both normal immune responses to infection
and cancer, as well as an understanding of abnormal
immune responses in allergy, hypersensitivity, inflammation,
autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. Up-to-date advancements
in such areas as the generation of diversity, cytokines,
cell signaling, neuroimmunology, immunogenetics
and molecular techniques will be presented. The
course involves student participation and in-class
presentations in addition to didactic lectures.
The course is team-taught with presentation by individual
faculty with expertise in particular areas. The
ultimate goal of the course is to equip graduate
students with a firm understanding of disease processes,
which enable the student to apply the information
to a wide variety of research topics. |
