Advanced Topics in Targeted Molecular Pharmacology and Immunology

Description

The course focuses on the molecular mechanisms of drug action and how cutting-edge research can advance current therapeutic approaches to disease. The utility of molecular pharmacology will be highlighted in the context of current and future drug discovery for cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic diseases and cancer. This course will provide an in-depth knowledge of types and components of human immune system and differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells towards the myeloid and lymphoid lineages and the role of the microenvironment in the bone marrow during these processes. Cutting-edge knowledge will also be developed about T cell development as well as the activation and functional diversity of T and B cell responses, including the formation of germinal centers, T helper cell differentiation and regulatory T cell function. The differentiation of memory CD4+ T cells and the development and function of secondary and tertiary lymphoid tissues will be covered during the module.
