44814-01 - Vorlesung: Target Validation and Identification of Modulators in Immunopharmacology 1 KP

Semester Herbstsemester 2024
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 as a prerequisite for discovery of novel targets and drugs
- Medical need in key immunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, lupus and transplant rejection
- Discovery, use and limitations of immunosuppressive drugs
- Cell depletion strategies to interfere with autoimmune disorders
- Discovery of immunomodulatory drugs, e.g. interference with cell migration, co-stimulation and nucleic acid sensing
- Immune activation as a successful treatment option for cancer and infection
- PI3 kinase inhibitors as an opportunity to interfere with immune disorders or cancer (e.g. idelalisib and duvelisib)
