The emphasis of advanced immunology will be on understanding the mechanistic basis of processes that are central to the immune response, diseases and disorders of the immune system and the laboratory approaches used to elucidate them. The first half of the semester will be devoted to the cellular and molecular aspect of immune response. This involves learning about the processes, signaling pathways and mechanisms of immune responses. Selected topics in both innate and adaptive immune system will be covered with some common disorders associated with immune system. Practical sessions on immunodiagnostics (serology and molecular) to give the students different approaches used in diagnostic laboratories.
