This subject builds on the principles and concepts regarding the function of the immune
system introduced in second year in the subjects MI2011:03 (Microbial Diversity) and
MI2021:03 (Microbiology and Immunology). Advanced Immunobiology aims to cover the
biological and functional aspects of the immune system and its complex interaction
with other physiological systems. It is an integrated subject providing students with
an understanding of the evolution of the immune system, immunophysiology, regulation
of the immune system, the potential to manipulate the immune system and the role of
the immune system in infectious diseases, immunopathology and in the development of
tumours.
Learning Outcomes
- to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the role of the immune system in infectious
diseases;
- to develop skills to acquire and communicate information using a variety of resources
and to provide a critical appraisal of scientific literature;
- to know and understand the general principles and mechanisms involved in immunopathology;
- to know and understand the physiological and functional interaction of the immune
system with other physiological systems;
- to understand the concepts of immunomanipulation and modulation.
