Aim and content

The course aims at giving the participants the concept behind innate immunity.

This includes knowledge about defense mechanisms in anatomical barriers, pattern recognition molecules, the inflammasome, the complement system, strategies for antimicrobial defense and host Interactions as well as the involvement of innate immunity in maintaining tissue homeostasis. It will be a mixture of state of the art lectures given by international recognized researchers in the field and hands-on experimental sessions of subcellular fractionation of neutrophils and function of the complement system. The course is an activity of the Graduate School of Immunology.

Aim and content

The understanding of many diseases has changed fundamentally during the last two decades. Thus dysfunction/dysregulation of the immune system can be shown to be part of the disease process in many instances. The intention of the course is to bring the participants knowledge of current leading research within the immune system covering the principals of innate and adaptive immunity as well the pathogenesis in immune related diseases.

Participants

PhD students and others interested within clinical and basic research on the immune system and inflammation.

Language

English.

Form

4 individual days in each term from 9.00 – 12.00 and 13.15 – 17.00 as presentation and discussion.

Aim and content

The aim of this PhD course that participants acquire knowledge on innate immune signaling pathways and regulations there-of both in response to microbes (commensals and pathogens) and in inflammation in states of disease. In addition, there will be sessions on techniques, and on pharmacological and microbial interventions to deregulated responses.

The course will contain lectures by leading national and international researchers within the fields of skin and immune signaling both from SIC, from Danish research institutions and internationally.
