Module description
***This module is under development***
In this module you will learn how the immune system has evolved to recognise and destroy a myriad of pathogens and how, but also how an unrestrained immune response system can lead to immunopathology and cancer. Throughout this module, you will identify major components and pathways of the immune system and how they these relate to diseases with major global impact. You will also recognise how our acquired knowledge in immunology has allowed us to develop therapeutics and diagnostic assays. You will discuss and learn about key disease states associated with an imbalanced immune response, such as immunodeficiency, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, cancer, and transplantation. You will learn how knowledge in immunology has allowed the development of therapies and diagnostic assays to improve healthcare.
