IMMUNOLOGIA
(objectives)
COURSE OBJECTIVES The aim of the course of Immunology is to provide students with a method of studying this constantly evolving scientific area, with terminology and information necessary to understand the basic and the advanced concepts in Immunology. In particular, the program aims to provide general characteristics, basic and updated knowledge concerning molecular and cellular components of innate and adaptive immunity. The students will also be provided with the most recent advances in for further studies concerning the mechanisms underlying immune responses against infections and tumors. In conclusions, the course aims to provide general knowledge to understand the immune response and insights for future studies of immunopathology and immunological biotechnology. LEARNING OUTCOMES 1) Knowledge and understanding. Knowledge of modern Immunology: properties and functions of molecular and cellular components of adaptive and innate immune responses, their complex network of interactions. 2) Applying knowledge and understanding. Developing the knowledge of potential applications of adaptive and innate immune responses in immunopathology and immunological biotechnology. 3) Making judgments. Ability to interpret the experimental results, similar to those addressed during the lessons. 4) Communication skills. Will be stimulated students' ability to speak, think and discuss the scientific questions raised in the classroom to develop communication skills. 5) Learning skills. Ability to describe scientific issues related to the modern Immunology. Such skills will be developed and tested by involving students in oral discussions in the classroom.
