Immunology

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

In this course we will cover one of the most interesting biological systems in you…the immune system! We will cover the different types of immune responses, how they are triggered by exposure to foreign microbes or in response to the presence of tumors. We will also discuss what happens when the immune system goes wrong leading to autoimmune diseases. Finally, we will cover how we can use immune modulation as a mechanism to treat various diseases. The course will use a mix of text-book information, lectures, videos and primary research articles to cover the material.
