ImmunoEngineering

Catalog description

The immune system influences nearly all aspects of human health and therefore deserves consideration by investigators developing devices, drugs and strategies to improve human health. The course begins with a brief review of the immune system, fundamental immunological assays and the role of the immune system in disease. The second part of the course focuses on immune responses to a range of biomaterials. The third part will explore immune responses in the context of vaccines, immunotherapies and regenerative medicine.
