A course on Clinical Immunology - 8 lessons given by Jakub Abramson.
This course is targeted on general biology audience with interest in immunology, genetics and human diseases. The aim of this course is to review, deepen and solidify your knowledge in immunopathology and clinical immunology by presenting and discussing authentic examples of patients suffering from diverse genetically inherited immune disorders.
Each lecture features 3-4 different but related individual case studies, briefly describing patients’ symptoms, clinical examination, medical history, and therapeutic treatments. Based on this information we try to determine which part of the immune system is dysfunctional and diagnose the specific disease. We then discuss cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to the specific disorder, as well as possible genetic predisposition. We then compare how much the human phenotype resembles phenotypes in corresponding mouse models.
The course is taught in English in mid June each year in the time frame of 1,5 week.
