Immunology Course Overview

  • BIOL 1060 is a three-credit immunology course that provides students with an in-depth understanding of the human immune system. It first introduces students to the structure, functions, and capabilities of immune cells, tissues, and organs. Globally, the course informs students of different modes of action and the ability of immune effector populations in combating various types of infections. This course will also emphasize current immunological techniques such as a recombinant antibody, flow cytometry, and ELISPOT technology. Further, issues related to vaccine development and therapeutics will also be included in the course. Finally, students will develop disciplinary appreciation through reviews of case studies, research articles, and current perspectives in the field of immunology.

    *This course is considered an upper-level undergraduate course (300 level or above)

Immunology Course Outcomes

  • Identify the cellular and molecular basis of immunity and immune systems.
  • Summarize the cellular effector populations involved in the generation of immunity.
  • Distinguish between the contribution of the immune system in maintaining balance in healthy versus diseased conditions
  • Recognize and distinguish triggers of immunological response
  • Differentiate between the types of immunological responses and the types of effector cell populations involved
  • Critique molecular events involved in generating humoral and cell-mediated immunity
  • Determine the immunological basis of vaccinations
  • Explore the history and development of immunity against diseases and pandemics
  • Discriminate between the immunological basis of autoimmunity, cancer, and neurological diseases.
