Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member universities. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Explain concepts governing activation of innate immune responses 2. Describe signaling pathways and post-translation modifications involved in immune signaling 3. Have examples of how deregulation of innate immune signaling can lead to disease 4. Explain the interplay between the host and microbes 5. Discuss techniques for addressing outstanding questions in the field and address their strengths and weaknesses Content The aim of this PhD course is that participants acquire knowledge on innate immune signaling pathways and regulations there-of both in response to microbes (commensals and pathogens) and in inflammation in states of disease in skin and gut. Focus is on the molecular mechanisms, that govern the early immune reponses and on post translational modifications that occur, how they can be regulated and potential consequences of deregulation. In addition, there will be presentations on pharmacological interventions to deregulated responses. The course includes a journal club where students present pre-selected papers to each other, and meet-the speaker sessions, where students will meet with the invited speakers of the course. The course will contain lectures by leading national and international researchers within the fields immune signaling both from SIC, from Danish research institutions and internationally. Participants The course is relevant for PhD students and others within life and medical sciences, who desire to get a better understanding of innate immune responses and host-pathogen interactions. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Immunology and Infectious Diseases Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Molecular Bacteriology and Infection Language English Form Lectures, group work, discussions, meet the professor, journal club Course director Berthe Katrine Fiil, Assistant Professor, berthe.fiil@sund.ku.dk Mads Gyrd Hansen, Professor, mgyrd@sund.ku.dk Teachers Beatrice Dyring Andersen, Associate Professor, KU Ieva Bagdonaite, Assistant Professor, KU Mariena van der Plas, Associate Professor, KU William Winston Agace, Professor, DTU Dates 16 - 19 January 2024 All days from 08:45 to 16:30 Course location Faculty of Health, Blegdamsvej 3B Registration Please register before 14 December 2023. Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Applications from other participants will be considered after the last day of enrolment. Note: All applicants are asked to submit invoice details in case of no-show, late cancellation or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students). If you are a PhD student, your participation in the course must be in agreement with your principal supervisor.
