| Content | In this lecture series, various immune pathways involved in cancer, autoimmune diseases, infections, inflammation, and immunodeficiencies will be discussed. Each session will begin with an internationally recognized scientist from Switzerland or abroad (e.g., Oxford, Paris, Toronto, Boston, Lisbon, Aachen) providing a general overview of current knowledge in their specific area of interest. In the second hour, the lecturer will present and discuss their latest state-of-the-art research, offering insights into novel concepts of immune homeostasis, surveillance, and defense. |
| Learning objectives | knowledge about 1) the major key players and pathways in immune defense, 2) relationship to human diseases, 3) new genetically modified mouse models, 4) new technologies in cell and molecular biology |
| Comments | Speakers will be present via zoom, students and chair person will be present in lecture hall. |
