In this course, you will explore the two main types of adaptive immune cells, T and B lymphocytes.

You will understand how their various sub-sets contribute to the overall immune response.

Finally, you will explore the effect of age on the function of the immune system.

In this course, you will learn about the consequences of the imbalance between the effector and regulatory immune responses.

You will also take a closer look at the potential mechanisms behind autoimmunity in the context of common autoimmune conditions.

You will examine the exaggerated/unnecessary immune reactions to innocuous particles, observed in allergies and hypersensitivity reactions in asthma.

In this course, you will go on a journey with our infectious disease experts and explore immune response to bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

You will learn about mechanisms that some of these pathogens have developed to evade the immune response and survive in its human host.

You will learn about some of these disease in more details, focussing on aspects of the immune response in the various phases of the infection.

In this course, you will learn the causes and consequences of a failing immune system.

You will explore the impact of genetic deficiencies on the immune response.

You will understand the relationship between tumour and immune cells and how this leads to tumour survival.
