| Content | This lecture relies on the knowledge acquired in the module on Immunology of Infection. By reading, analyzing, presenting and discussing recently published research papers, reviews and chapters from Janeway’s Immunobiology, by KM Murphy et al., the student is confronted with up-to date research results and unsolved research questions in infection biology. A different focus area is addressed each year. |
| Learning objectives | To deepen the understanding of how the immune system fights infection; approaches taken in development of vaccines against parasite diseases; learn how parasites manipulate the immune system to escape immune surveillance; get an overview of key immunological techniques used in the field; develop skills to critically analyze scientific publications and discuss their relevance. |
| Comments | Methods: Seminars of invited speakers and student presentations. Each student gives at least 1 presentation or writes one essay. |
