Innovative immunological approaches aimed at modifying immune response will continue to play a significant role in the future of biomedical, medicine, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industries. This course will examine central concepts in mammalian immunology and discuss how these relate to clinical diseases and therapies.
Learning Objectives:
This course will help students establish an understanding of the following topics:
- Evolutionary development of the immune system and host-pathogen interactions
- Development, function, and regulation of innate and adaptive immune cells
- Migration of immune cells through the body and the anatomy of lymphoid organs
- Cell-cell communication and the coordination of responses by multiple immune cell types
- Underlying causes and consequences of dysregulated immune responses
- Therapeutic strategies to treat immunological diseases
- Basic experimental and diagnostic techniques used in laboratories
- Identification and comprehension of primary and secondary sources of scientific information
Prerequisites
Introductory coursework in cellular biology and genetics are required for this class, as basic concepts in cell biology, cell signaling, and principles of genetics will not be covered in lectures.

McGinty, John
Jack (John) McGinty, PhD is a research scientist at 2seventy Bio, a biotech company making cutting-edge immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. His current work focuses on the development of CAR T cell therapy. In this process patient T cells are isolated, genetically reprogrammed, and injected into the body where they detect and kill cancer cells.

Goddard, Erica
Erica Goddard (they/them) has a background in cancer, metastasis, immunology, and T cell-based immunotherapies. They received a B.S. in Microbiology from the University of Kansas in 2004. During this time they gained experience in a research lab studying herpesviruses. They went on to earn a PhD in Cancer Research from Oregon Health and Sciences University in 2017 while working in the lab of Dr. Pepper Schedin. Erica's PhD work focused on understanding the high rate of metastasis and death observed in patients diagnosed with postpartum breast cancer. They discovered a novel biology of the liver, namely that the liver undergoes tissue involution following cessation of lactation in rodents. This involution establishes a pro-metastatic environment in the liver for a period of time pos...Read More
