New course on "Innate immunity and infectious diseases"

From April 10 to 25, 2017, the Education Center will be running a new course (in English) on "Innate immunity and infectious diseases", directed by Jean-Marc Cavaillon and Daniel Scott-Algara.

This two and half week long course offers lectures on the players and on the mechanisms of the innate immune system and inflammation involved in the defense of the host against pathogens. It also offers lectures on the new tools allowing to study of the immune system.

This course is aimed to offer the most up-dated information on the cellular and molecular players of innate immunity, and on the mechanisms that lead to the elimination of the pathogens, either of bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic origin.

Because innate immunity is closely intricated with inflammation, the involvement of innate immunity with diseases will also be addressed.

Finally, up-to date tools to study the innate immune system will be presented.

The deadline for registration is January 15, 2017.
