Immunology (from response to infection to autoimmune diseases)

This EU is a logical continuation of the S4 EU (Fundamentals of Physiology and Immunology) and aims to deepen knowledge of fundamental, applied, and clinical immunology. We will also address "unconventional" concepts in immunology and develop innovative immunotherapy strategies. This course unit will cover all topics related to modern immunology and will be strongly oriented towards the clinical aspects of this discipline.

 Keywords

Fundamental immunology, Anti-infectious immunity, Immunotherapy, Vaccination, Autoimmunity, Immune deficiencies, Anti-cancer immunity, Non-conventional immunity

1. Provide an integrated and dynamic view of innate and adaptive immunity.
2. Strengthen the interface between basic and clinical immunology.
3. Better understanding host-microorganism/pathogen interactions.
4. Describe new vaccines, cell and gene therapies, molecular engineering of antibodies, and the prospects for their use.

Skills targeted by the EU:

- In-depth knowledge of basic and clinical immunology

- New approaches to immunotherapies

- Practice of immunological techniques
