About African Immunobiology of Parasites, Pathogens, and Pathogenesis 2022
A week-long virtual course targeted at PhD students and early postdocs who have a strong interest in the interaction between the immune system and pathogens, and how this underlies the pathogenesis of a wide range of infectious and non-communicable diseases.
The online course consists of intensive interactive learning sessions and symposia on the most recent advances in immunology, immune disease and the consequences of chronic immune activity on human health. The parasitology of malaria, HIV, TB, helminths, HPV and other viruses including Covid 19 will also be covered. Delivered by some of the leading researchers in the field, participants will also benefit from grant writing, science communication and career-mentoring sessions.
