Hi everyone! This course is designed to delve deep into the body and understand the hardworking cells keeping you healthy (or not so much) every minute of the day. We will explore principles of innate and adaptive immunity to understand the fundamentals of the immune system. Going further, you will be introduced to pathogens and how they wreak havoc on the body, as well as how our elite killers of the immune system clear those pathogens. We will cover a wide variety of immunological topics that may be seen in the clinic, such as cancer immunology and autoimmune disorders, as well as touch on how current immunological research shapes what we see treating patients. I'm so excited to share some of my favorite topics in science with you all - looking forward to a great semester!
