Three-Day
Immunology
Workshop
for Scientists
Pharmaceutical
research
is increasingly complex and interdisciplinary. Breaking through the
layers of jargon which have become barriers to those outside the field,
this three day, in-depth course will enable participants to engage in
productive communication with team members from various
disciplines.
Designed
for individuals with a
background in the life sciences, the course explores the fundamental
concepts of immunology as well as recent advances in the field which
may lay the groundwork for future commercial applications, and
provides participants the background which will allow further
reading and critical analysis of the immunology literature.
The
immune response will be examined as a coordinated, interconnected
system of recognition and responses employing various cell populations
(B cells, T cells, macrophages, etc.,) receptors, effector functions
(antibody production, cell mediated responses,) and regulatory
mechanisms. Extensive use of real world examples will be used
to
help illustrate major themes.

Two-Day
Immunology
Workshop
for Scientists
The
field of immunology
is rapidly changing, increasingly complex and interdisciplinary, and
has developed a formidable and jargon-filled vocabulary. This
two
day course for individuals with a background in the life sciences
(undergraduate degree or relevant experience) will encompass the
principle concepts in both theory and practical application.
Emphasis will be placed on understanding the immune response as a
coordinated, interconnected system of various cell populations (B
cells, T cells, macrophages, etc.,) effector functions (antibody
production, cell mediated responses,) and the regulatory
mechanisms. Extensive use of real world examples will be used
to
help illustrate major themes.

One-Day
Immunology
Workshop
for Non-Scientists
This
one day workshop
will provide a basic overview of the immune system, with the goal of
providing the non-scientists an introduction to the vocabulary
and
current concepts used by scientists in the field of
immunology.
Emphasis will be placed on understanding the
broad concepts of how the
major components of the immune system (antibodies, antigens, B cells, T
cells, the important anatomical structures, etc.) function, and how
these various pieces lead to protection from disease, strategies for
vaccination, and applications for immunodiagnostics.
Extensive
use
of real-world examples helps illustrate major themes. Can be
tailored to the needs of the audience.
