Module description

***This module is under development***

This module introduces the complex yet fascinating field of science known as Immunology. In this module, you will learn about the key cells and proteins that constitute the immune system, and how they work together to fight pathogens and other threats to keep us healthy. You will learn about the key pathways that result in either activation or inhibition to mount an effective immune response. This knowledge will then be applied in a variety of pathogenic contexts to see the varied and powerful mechanisms that keep us healthy and disease-free.
