Course description
This course will provide students with a thorough introduction to immunological concepts. Over two weeks, students will learn about both innate and adaptive immunology.
Week 1 - Discussion of basic immunological concepts (5 days)
Week 2 - Discussion of immunological concepts in the context of disease (3 days)
Lectures will be given by researchers who are experts in the field, with two seminars from international guest lectureres incorporated into the course.
Prerequisites and Selection
Prerequisite courses, or equivalent
While no prior knowledge in immunology is required, basic immunological concepts will be discussed in depth and detail. Basic understanding of cell and molecular biology is therefore necessary (as an example - you should roughly remember what ‘translation’, ‘G1 phase’, ‘splicing’, or‘endocytosis’ all are off the top of your head (molecular details not necessary)).
Selection
Selection will be based on:
1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant’s individual study plan/research (according to written motivation).
2) start date of doctoral studies (priority given to earlier start date).
