Specific aims module II Advanced knowledge of the cellular and molecular interactions regulating the development of adaptive immune responses. Knowledge of the immune responses against intracellular pathogens. Knowledge of the immune response to cancer and its passive and active immunotherapy. Students will improve their competence in understanding host immune responses in microbial and cancer pathologies and in the immune modulating strategies. Knowledge and understanding skills Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms and cellular interactions characterizing the immune response against intracellular pathogens and tumors. Knowledge of the different approaches in immunotherapy. Knowledge of the scientific investigation methods and of the specific scientific terminology. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding The student will be able to understand the literature in the field of immunology and immunotherapy and in other integrated scientific fields. He will be able to use the specific terminology and to understand the rationale and the development of immuno-therapy. Autonomy of judgment. Autonomy of judgment is stimulated through the evaluation, critical analysis and interpretation of data and experiments from the literature. Communication skills Acquisition of competences and communication tools with adequate technical language. Learning skills This will be stimulated through class discussion; providing teaching materials (reference books and relevant review) on informatics support.
