Experimental immunology and immunobiotechnology

The course aims at providing a general understanding of potentials and limitations of experimental immunology approaches to the understanding on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human immunopathology, here developed approaching a selection of immunological diseases as cases of study.

The students will learn how to investigate on the pathogenesis of models of human diseases starting from the unanswered clinical and biological questions. The knowledge of the advanced biotechnologies and of animal models will make it possible to understand what technical tools and approaches are currently available to disclose the cellular and molecular mechanisms of human diseases.
