12 courses with the subject IMM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
IMM 5100Graduate Immunology3
K. Knoop (Fall) – Structure, genetics, and function of immunoglobulins; biosynthesis of antibody; cellular regulation of immune response; tumor and transplantation immunology; immune response to infectious agents; autoimmunity and immune deficiencies. Course previously listed as CORE 6200.
V. Shapiro (Summer) – This course will teach the basics of flow cytometry, including how a cytometer functions, designing a panel compensation, statistics, analysis, and interpretation. New technology including new fluorochromes and mass cytometry (CyTOF) are also discussed. No prerequisites are required. The course consists of 10 hours of lecture from RST videoconferenced to AZ and FL, plus 4 hours of hands-in/demonstration plus a virtual demonstration/analysis.
IMM 6862Current Topics in Cell Activation and Signaling1
D. Billadeau, V. Shapiro (Winter, Summer) – Weekly discussions of recent scientific literature on topics related to receptors, transmembrane signaling mechanisms, and gene expression. IMM degree candidates are given preference for this course .Register in the quarter you present (1cr./yr.) IMM degree candidates are given preference for this course
D. Billadeau (993: Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) - Current literature on important areas of immunology. Critical review of methods, results, and findings. The course is offered in all four quarters. Register in summer term (1 cr./yr.). IMM degree candidates are given preference for this course.
IMM 6865Regenerative T Cell Immunotherapy and Cellular Engineering3
S. Kenderian (Spring) – This course is a week-long instructional class involving internal and external guest speakers from multiple different fields in cancer immunotherapy. It covers commonly used and studied cancer immunotherapy tools, including cell therapy, nucleic acid-based cancer vaccines, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, etc.. Students will be exposed to the latest ongoing research in cancer immunotherapy and will have opportunities to discuss unsolved challenges and potential solutions in the fields with the invited scientists. Students will be designing and presenting their own final projects as small groups and will be graded by course director and teaching assistant. By the end of the course, students are expected to understand common platforms of cancer immunotherapies and corresponding advantages and disadvantages. We are inviting more external speakers and expanding the topics.
K. Knoop (Winter) – This course offers instruction on how to present and discuss research in the broad area of clinical and translational immunology. Participants will prepare both hour-long journal club-style presentations and brief conference-style research presentations. Topics will include bacterial infections, microbial influences on immunity, mucosal immunology, and mechanisms and treatment of immune-mediated diseases affecting barrier surfaces.
S. Oh, A. Ting (Odd: Winter) – Course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the role of innate immunity in health and disease. The final grade will be based on class participation and the grade achieved on the comprehensive final exam.
K. Hirohito, L. Rogers (Even: Spring) – This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the role of adaptive immunity in health and disease. The final grade will be based on class participation and the grade achieved on the comprehensive final exam.
A. Johnson, K. Knoop (Odd: Spring) – Course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the how the the immune system communicates and works in the body tissues in health and disease.
