| Content | This course on molecular infection biology will focus on molecular aspects of host-pathogen interactions, pathogen virulence, immune evasion strategies, pathogen transmission or drug resistance mechanisms of several eukaryotic and prokaryotic pathogens that cause important poverty-related infectious diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness, helminthiases and tuberculosis, as well as the SARS-CoV2 virus. |
| Learning objectives | To understand molecular strategies employed by pathogens to infect their hosts To understand molecular mechanisms underlying drug resistance |
| Comments | The course will start only on Sep 22 (NO LECTURE on Sep 15) |
