Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Objectives
Students will understand the basics in immunology, the structure of the immune system, the functions of its components as well as the methods of communication within the immunological network. In addition, they will apprehend the interactions between nutrition and the immune system either with regard to single nutrient or to the nutrient matrix. This will include immunopathological phenomena such as infections, chronic inflammatory processes, and allergies. They will be able to differentiate between reasonable and unsound product descriptions.

Contents
Structure and function of the immune system, special focus on GALT
Food substances with modulating effects on the immune system and inflammatory events
Pathogenesis of food allergies, intolerances, and hypersensitivities
Prevention and therapy of food allergies (hypoallergenic food, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics)

Methods
Power point presentations will be available via LMS
Journal articles and reviews on current topics of Nutrition and Immunology after prior announcement
