Content

Central to this seminar lecture are the Real-World Examples and Societal Impact of Immunology and Immunotherapy. In groups of 4-5 members, the participants will be asked to:
- study in detail scientific publications on an immunology and immunotherapy-related topic, proposed from the supervisors
- prepare a presentation covering the topic, including critical discussion
- present their efforts to the colleagues
- actively participate in presentations of colleagues in contributing to discussion and provide feedback.
Previous knowledge expected

None; participation in "Introduction to immunology " and "The principles of immunotherapy" is strongly recommended
Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

The students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
- place an immunology-related topic into context and retrieve the related background information
- propose and plan the experimental set-ups required to address an immunology-related problem and evaluate the outcomes
- integrate the views sourced from broadly immunology-related scientific disciplines, such as protein engineering and biochemistry
- render their efforts in a presentation, convey, accept, and respond to feed-back, and differentiate between the requirements for a presentation intended for scientific and interested lay audience.
