This
course will cover the basic concepts underlying the mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity, as well as key
experimental methods currently used in the field. To keep it real, the
course will include clinical correlates in such areas as infectious
diseases, cancer and transplantation.
Taking
this course won't turn you into an immunologist, but it should prepare
you to be able to read the literature intelligently in this rapidly
advancing field.
