Experimental immunology and immunobiotechnology
A.A. 2018/2019
Obiettivi formativi
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.
Risultati apprendimento attesi
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.

Prerequisiti
At the end of the course, each student will be asked to present and discuss with the class and the faculty the original data in a joined session. Every presentation will be scored and will serve as the final oral examination of the course.
Students can register to give the final exam only after they will be approved for all the courses comprise in the COMMON LEARNING ACTIVITY track of the Medical Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine Master Degree.
The exam is oral as detailed in the step 4 and 5 of the program to assess the knowledge and understanding of the students in regard to the lessons, assigned research articles and different aspects of the above-mentioned human immunologic diseases.
