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. Comprehend the fundamental and advanced principles of the translational field of immunometabolism. 2. Critically evaluate and engage with the recent and most influential literature in the field 3. Analyze and discuss mechanisms for modulating metabolism to regulate immune responses 4. Examine and apply advanced experimental methods for investigating various aspects of immunometabolism Content Immunometabolism is an emerging field of translational research that explores the dynamic interplay between immunological and metabolic processes. These metabolic processes play a crucial role in regulating immune cell responses in both healthy individuals and in conditions such as infections, cancer, autoimmunity, and aging. Breakthroughs in immunometabolism are paving the way for innovative therapies targeting chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, as well as introducing a new class of cancer immunotherapies. This course offers students an introduction to cutting-edge research in immunometabolism. Through a combination of lectures and group work, students will actively engage with various aspects of the field, gaining a deeper understanding of its current and potential applications in clinical practice. Participants The PhD course is intended for students from all academic fields, who are working or are planning to work with immunometabolism in the a laboratory and/or a clinical setting. However, the course is open for all students interested in the topic. 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: - All graduate programmes Language English Form The course will based on lectures, group work and facilitated discussions Course director Claus Desler, associate professor, BMI, cdesler@sund.ku.dk Teachers Claus Desler, associate professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences Dates 2 Dec - 4 Dec 2024 (Three days) - 9-17 all days Course location Panum. Blegdamsvej 3b, 2200 Copenhagen Registration Please register before 14 Nov 2024 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules.
