44814-01 - Vorlesung: Target Validation and Identification of Modulators: exemplified by Therapeutics in Immune Pharmacology 1 KP

Semester Herbstsemester 2022
Angebotsmuster Jedes Herbstsemester
Dozierende Christoph Burkhart (christoph.burkhart@unibas.ch)
Thomas Calzascia (thomas.calzascia@unibas.ch)
Tobias Junt (tobias.junt@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Gisbert Weckbecker (gisbert.weckbecker@unibas.ch)
Lernziele The student will understand
- Concepts of basic immunology and key signaling events in immune cells as prerequisites for the discovery of new targets and immunomodulatory drugs
- The medical need in key immunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, lupus and transplant rejection
- the discovery und use of standard immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine and rapamycins and their limitations as a motivation for further drug discovery
- The discovery of new immunomodulatory drugs with more specific profiles such as interference with cell migration, co-stimulation and nucleic acid sensing (drugs include natalizumab and fingolimod)
- that PI3 kinase inhibitors offer new opportunities to interfere with the activation and function of various immune cells that are involved in immune disorders or cancer (drugs include idelalisib and duvelisib)
- how activators of immune cells are becoming successful new treatment options for cancer and infections (drugs include anti-CTLA-4 Ab, anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 Abs)
- use of immune cell depletion strategies to fight immune disorders, e.g. MS
