Immunoengineering

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The immune system involves the most complex yet most powerful processes in the human body to protect us from both invading foreign pathogens and self-derived challenges. As the basic understanding of immunology is growing, engineers are rapidly designing intelligent and diverse strategies to manipulate the immune system to improve human health. In this course, we will extensively cover the basic concepts of immunology as well as explore the engineering strategies currently used to harness the power of the immune function to develop therapeutic and diagnostic approaches for improved human health.
