Immunogenetics

The course explores the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms shaping the immune system development. Students will gain insights into the genetic foundations of normal immune functions and how variations in host genetics can affect the outcomes of the immune response in cancer and other immune-related diseases. It will be discussed how this interplay between genetics and immunology opens avenues for applying genetic engineering in the creation of innovative vaccines and immunotherapies.
