Description
The teaching is carried out by teacher-researchers from the UFRs of medicine, science and pharmacy. It is organized into 42 hours of classes and supervised work divided into 7 themes (see Syllabus) including 2 series of article presentations; the first series on articles proposed by the speakers of each theme. A second series on articles chosen by the students. The students organize a mini-colloquium at the end of the course where the articles are presented. They write short reports of these articles for the Medecine-Sciences magazine.
Objectives
Understand the pathophysiological basis of autoimmune and allergic diseases, immune deficiencies and lymphoproliferative syndromes.Understand the mechanisms by which tumors and pathogens evade the immune system.Understand allogenicity, transplantation and grafting.Understand the targets of immunotherapies.Emphasis is placed on the scientific process leading to the description of pathophysiological mechanisms and the development of therapeutic molecules.
Necessary pre-requisites
This course is independent of the Current research in immunology course, which is not necessary if you have mastered the fundamental bases of immunology to follow this course. A refresher course is also offered with access to basic courses.
