Module Overview
Prerequisites/Co-requisites
Module Aims
  • To provide students with more in depth understanding of the principles of cellular and molecular immunology by examining the immunopathology of a range of diseases of current clinical importance
  • To provide students with a deeper appreciation of the immunopathology of immunohaematology and transplantation

     
Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module you should be able to:-

  • Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the molecular and cellular events that occur during an immune response
  • Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms of immune responses in infection and a range of other specific diseases
  • Have the ability to identify and discuss in-depth the clinical aetiology and management of immunohaematological and transplantation disorders
