Advanced Immunology

Catalog description

The class will be broken into 13 blocks consisting of two meetings per week. The first Thursday will consist of an informational session to discuss expectations. The rest of the course will be entirely discussion based. Prior to class, the instructor will email papers for the following week’s class. Students are expected to have read and be prepared to discuss any papers that have been sent. The first class of each week will consist of a historically important paper for that week’s topic. The second class will be a discussion of a more recent high impact paper from the field and how that works fits into the overall history and our understanding of immunity. Students will be called on in class to discuss specific figures, results, discussion, etc. from each paper.
