Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: Acquirement of theoretical knowledge of contemporary methods used in molecular and cellular immunobiology.
Content: The participants will review current methods to study immune responses and their regulation at the cellular and organismal level. The methods include the generation and use of transgenic animals in immunology (e.g. cre-based approaches, DT-mediated depletion, fate mapping), genome engineering & gene targeting in immunology, and imaging (2-photon, bioluminescence, mass cytometry, microfluidics).
Lectures by lecturers introducing methods and providing theoretical background. Presentations by students of key research papers employing the techniques discussed in the course.
The seminar is highly recommended for students who plan to attend the "Practical Course in Molecular and Cellular Immunobiology": in case of overregistration for the practical course, students who completed the seminar will be preferentially accepted.
Lectures by lecturers introducing methods and providing theoretical background. Presentations by students of key research papers employing the techniques discussed in the course.
