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 faculties. 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 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. 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. Understand how pathogens can impact on innate immune signaling

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.
Describe the course curriculum in terms of scientific topics covered.

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.
Describe the target group of the course and required qualifications (if any) by the participating PhD students.

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 Microbiology and infection

Language
