理学硕士（荣誉）免疫学

免疫学是一个高度动态的领域，会影响生物医学和生物科学学科内的主题和新兴问题。我们的MSci免疫学课程将使您了解健康的免疫系统的组成，原理和机制，以及它们如何协调以提供安全，适当的感染防护。您将确定免疫系统如何区分自身和非自身目标，如何调节反应以防御不同类型的传染原，以及当这些物质在不同的解剖部位（例如在皮肤中）遇到时，这种挑战如何变化，肠子和肺。除了建立健康的免疫系统的运作方式外，该课程还将解决导致免疫力不足或不足（例如过敏，自身免疫和免疫缺陷）的原因。其他主题包括免疫分子在诊断和临床干预策略中的当前和新
Immunology is a highly dynamic field that impacts topical and emerging issues within both the biomedical and biological science disciplines. Our MSci Immunology course will see you learn about the components, principles and mechanisms of a healthy immune system, and how they co-ordinate to mount safe and appropriate protection against infection. You will establish how the immune system can distinguish between self and non-self targets, how it can tune responses to protect against different types of infectious agents and how responses vary when these agents are encountered in different anatomical sites, such as in the skin, gut and lung. In addition to establishing the workings of a healthy immune system, the course will also address what underlies situations of inappropriate or insufficient immunity, such as allergy, autoimmunity and immune deficiency. Other topics include the current and emerging use of immune molecules in diagnostic and clinical intervention strategies, including therapeutic manipulation of the immune system for cancer treatment, vaccine development and transplant tolerance.
