Viral Immunology

Catalog description

Viral Immunology is an advanced topics course in Microbiology and Immunology which will be focused on viral immunology. Weekly meetings will cover different issues concerning defense against viral infections and pathology related to viral infection, with focus on viral-host interactions. Topics will be selected to present either important basic concepts in the context of immune responses and/or major challenges in controlling viral infections. Recent advances in understanding virus-host interactions, host responses to viruses, cytokine regulation of immune responses or cytokine-mediated pathology during viral infections will be emphasized. The 2020 organizational meeting is set for Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 3:00PM (BMC 6th Floor Conference Room - Room 603). There is also a requirement for a previous immunology course.
