| Course Description |
The antigen-specific immune response will be considered in depth. The course will cover aspects of:
Topics for further study will be selected from:
Practical work will focus on immunology related to disease states involving 'research directions' seminars given by researchers at ANU, class discussions or tutorials, and literature research assignments.
|
| Learning Outcomes |
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 1. Predict how the immune system will respond to disease, cancer or pathogens2. Think strategically about developmental aspects of immunity and potential immunotherapies 3. Apply diagnostic reasoning to understanding disease states and their immunological cause 4. Interpret experimental data on research in immunology and evaluate research papers in terms of their contribution to the field 5. Read and summarise the literature critically and formulate hypotheses for further experimentation |
| Indicative Assessment |
Assessment will be based on:
|
| Workload | Two lectures and up to three hours of practical, seminar or tutorial work per week. |
