OVERVIEW
Immunology uncover the study of the immune system, it’s biological meaning and the close relationship with other organ systems. The goal of this course is to get closer to the fundamental pillars of Immunology. In particular, we are going to understand the cellular and molecular partners participating in the orchestration of an immune response.
