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 faculties. 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. To understand the molecular basis of T-cell in the immune response 2. To describe importance of barriers in the immune system 3. To describe the gut immune response in health and disease 4. To describe the immune response to infections 5. To understand interactions between the immune system and neuronal tissues Content The Immune System is our biological defense system which protect us from external and internal dangers. A number of factors can affect the inflammatory response such as genes, microbiota and aging. This can cause detrimental effects if there is a compromised ability regeneration and repair. The course aim to deal with and explain these challenges. Beside presentations by invites speakers, a number of students will be selected for shorter presentations. An organized poster session will be arranged and all students will be anticipated to bring a poster presenting their own research project. The meeting will take place at Konventum in Elsinore.
