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 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 Berthe Katrine Fiil, Assistant Professor Mads Gyrd Hansen, Professor Mariena van der Plas, Associate Professor, KU William Winston Agace, Professor, KU Mikkel Koed Møller Aasted, Postdoc, KU Dates 14/1-17/1 2025 Course location Faculty of Health, Blegdamsvej 3B Registration Please register before 15.12.24 Expected frequency Every year (week 3) 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.
