ABOUT THE COURSE:
Immunology is the study of how the body defends itself against infections, cancer, and immune- related disorders. It explores the roles of immune cells, antibodies, and signaling molecules in detecting, responding to, and remembering harmful threats—while maintaining balance to avoid self-damage. This course offers a comprehensive overview of immune system function, from basic concepts to clinical relevance. Participants will learn about innate and adaptive immunity, antigen recognition, cytokine signaling, immune tolerance, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmunity, vaccines, and immunotherapies. Designed for students, clinicians, and researchers alike, the course follows a bottom-up approach—starting from molecular and cellular principles and advancing to disease mechanisms and applications. Key lab techniques such as ELISA and flow cytometry will also be introduced through examples and demonstrations. Whether your goal is academic, clinical, or research-oriented, this course builds a strong foundation in immunology and its real-world applications.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG, PG & PhD students from Biosciences, Bioengineering, Biomedical engineering, Agricultural biotechnology, Fisheries and other life sciences disciplines.
PREREQUISITES: Basic 10+2 biology
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Vaccine and diagnostics related companies, drug discovery, tissue engineering, pharmaceutical companies.
