iBiMED International Advanced Training School 2016 Molecular Medicine 24 - 28 October PHILIPPE PIERRE venue Molecular Immunology iBiMED, Department of Medical Sciences, University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal overview The importance of keeping the immune system in control has become more evident in recent years. It is now clear that it is essential to regulate the delicate balance of immune responses to fight infections and cancers but also to avoid auto-immune disorders. The aim of this course is to provide an overview on how is the immune response regulated in homeostasis vs infection and to run practical sessions in flow cytometry tools. audience This course is aimed at researchers with little Immunology knowledge. Due to hands-on sessions, this advanced training school has limited seats. confirmed trainers SYLLABUS, TOOLS AND RESOURCES OUTCOMES During this course you will learn about: - Cells and molecules of the immune system; - Structure and function of antigen receptors; - Antigen processing and presentation; - Intercellular communication; - Activation of immune cells (signal transduction and cytokine biology); - Principles of operation and versatility of flow cytometry for different applications. At the end of this course you should be able to: - Understand the molecular events that trigger an immune response; - Identify possible ways to modulate an immune response; - Interpret Immunology-related scientific data; Philippe Pierre Evelina Gatti Catarina Almeida Department of Medical Sciences, University of Aveiro, Portugal 5/5 Scientific Coordinator Philippe Pierre is an international leader in dendritic cell immunobiology and innate immunity. His research interests include elucidation of MHC membrane traffic and antigen presentation, the role of proteolysis and ubiquitin during this process and control of translation in dendritic cells, as well as the fundamental changes occurring during pathogen detection.
