Description
This EU is the logical continuation of the S4 EU (Basics of physiology and immunology) and aims to deepen knowledge of fundamental, applied and clinical immunology. We will also cover "unconventional" immunology and develop innovative immunotherapy strategies. The course will cover all aspects of modern immunology, with a strong emphasis on clinical aspects.
Key words
Fundamental immunology, Anti-infectious immunity, Immunotherapy, vaccination, Autoimmunity, Immune deficiencies, Anti-cancer immunity, Non-conventional immunity
Objectives
- An integrated and dynamic view of innate and adaptive immunity.
- Strengthen the interface between basic and clinical immunology.
- Better understanding of host-microorganism/pathogen interactions.
- Describe new vaccines, cell and gene therapies, molecular engineering of antibodies and prospects for their use.
Skills targeted by the EU :
- In-depth knowledge of basic and clinical immunology
- New approaches to immunotherapy
- Practice of immunological techniques
