Explore mechanisms by which organisms defend themselves against microbes
Course Directors: Luc Teyton and James Voss
Term: Fall
Credits: 3.0
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Immunology is the study of the immune system, a complex organ that defends organisms against diseases and microbes. In its first part, the course is designed to provide an overview of basic concepts in the field of immunology, while particular contemporary topics will be addressed in its second part. The emphasis will be in discussing basic concepts, as well as their applications. The course will be tailored to accommodate students from all Scripps Research graduate study "tracks." Students who have never taken an immunology course may find Principles of Immunology to be useful as a first step for Virology and Microbiology elective courses, although this course is not a prerequisite for either course.
