Translational Immunology

Catalog description

Open to medical students (regardless of whether they are in foundations or applications), graduate students, and undergraduates (by consent of instructor). The format is a seminar series with weekly lectures from Immunology Faculty and guest speakers focusing on current basic immunology research and how it is translated into immunotherapies and clinical trials. Topics include hematopoiesis, transplantation, tolerance, immune monitoring, vaccination, autoimmunity and antibodies, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pulmonary disease, and asthma. Med students in the immunology concentration major are allowed to take Imm 209 repeatedly for credit.
