Course Description
The primary goal of Basic Immunological Concepts is to provide students with a graduate level exposure to the cornerstone concepts in immunobiolgy. Discussion-based lectures, including student participation in each unit, will be followed by student-led discussion and analysis of cutting-edge, seminal papers in the field, with emphasis on the most recent literature. The lectures will be designed to foster critical student discussion, and students will learn to read and evaluate the primary literature in a critical and clear manner. They will also learn to discriminate gaps and conjectures from solid experimental scientific proof. In short, they should gain a foundational working knowledge of immunobiology that will provide a framework from which to theoretically and experimentally approach immunological subjects as a working scientist.
