Register for the new edition of the Innate immunity MOOC
The online courses division is offering you the opportunity to register for the second edition of the Innate Immunity MOOC, led by Daniel Scott-Algara and Jean-Marc Cavaillon and animated by Molly Ingersoll, which will run from January 14, 2021 to March 26, 2022.
Innate immunity acts as a first line of defense and can destroy invading microorganisms and trigger inflammation that contributes to blocking their assault, days before the action of adaptive immunity. While adaptive immunity was the major focus of researchers in the XXth century, the sensing of the exogenous or endogenous dangers signals was recently described, as well of the action of numerous cells. This MOOC describes the players and the whole orchestra involved in innate immunity against pathogens.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
• Define the cellular and molecular players of innate immunity.
• Describe the mechanisms that lead to the elimination of pathogens
• Explain the strategies of the pathogens against the innate immune system.
• Discuss the influence of genetic and microbiota on innate immune system
• Present its links with central nervous system and adaptive immunity.
