Immunology and infectious diseases
The immune system is essential to defend the organism against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi or pluricellular parasites. The goal of this course is to understand how the human immune system fights against these pathogens. Strategies developed by specific pathogens to counteract the immune system will also be highlighted to illustrate the complexity of host-pathogens interactions. Finally, this course will discuss the therapeutic approaches and strategies, currently used or under development, that will help to solve the major public health issues raised by infectious diseases.
