contents The specialist field of immunology imparts knowledge of the complex processes involved in the regulation of cellular and immunological processes in both human and animals. The immunological processes are thus examined in association with disease-induced malfunctions, for example in the case of immune defects or in tumor immunology. The lectures in the series “Advanced Immunology” cover the detailed mechanisms of the immune system. This includes an examination of the recent discoveries made in cellular and molecular immunology. The major topics include the evolution of immune systems, therapeutic antibodies, computational immunobiology, antigen processing, cellular communication, negative and positive regulatory mechanisms in immunity, interaction between immune systems, and pathogens and pathomechanisms. Thematic focus: Introduction and evolution of immune systems Therapeutic antibodies Computational immunology T-cell populations Cell-cell-communication and signal transduction in immune systems Immunity in the intestine Immunodeficiency – strategies/mechanisms of pathogens Function of neutrophil granulocytes MHC and antigen processing Immunopathology Pattern-recognition receptors in immune response: Recognition and regulation

objectives The course provides important and up-to-date knowledge of cellular and molecular immunology. After completion of this module, students will be able to understand the state-of-the-art strategies, modern methodologies and open questions in selected fields of immunology

After completion of this module students will have acquired a specialized knowledge and understanding of innate and adaptive immunology.

lecture (2 SWS)

content Aging is the most important risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases and thus an understanding of the age-related neural changes is of fundamental importance. Cerebral proteopathy is a unifying term for neurodegenerative diseases in which proteins misfold and polymerize into aggregates that are resistant to clearance. Whether these protein aggregations are causative for the disease or are epiphenomena will be discussed for each disorder. This course emphasis on the molecular and cellular pathomechanisms of the most common dementias and other neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Other dementias covered in this lecture course are the heterogenous group of Frontotemporal Dementias, and the Prion diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Additional movement disorders discussed in this lecture series include Huntington’s disease and various ataxias. Finally, motor neuron disease such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis will be presented and the recent link to the pathogenesis of Frontotemporal Dementia highlighted.

qualification goals At the end of the course the students will know the molecular and cellular pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. They will have an understanding of “tauopathies”, “synucleinopathies”, “amyloidosis”, and “triplete repeat disorders”. Furthermore, the students will understand the molecular and pathological commonalities among agerelated neurodegenerative diseases as well as disease-specific lesions and dysfunctions. Based on the molecular and cellular pathomechanism for each disease the students will be able to identify potential therapeutic targets.

seminar (2 SWS)

contents The module comprises weekly lectures that are organized in the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre, SFB 685 “Immunotherapy”, plus weekly seminars. Course participants attend both the seminar (to prepare for the specialist lecture, usually one day before the lecture takes place) and the talk itself. 1 – 2 students choose a relevant topic from the list of lectures and prepare the members of the group for the visit of the expert. This involves a general introduction to the speaker (CV), a description of his or her research and a discussion of the publications, all of which takes place prior to the lecture. After the first round of discussions, the seminar members are encouraged to intensify their personal contact to the expert by accompanying the host and guest to dinner. Participation in the lecture (colloquium) and in the subsequent discussion with the expert is obligatory.

objectives The students work independently or in small groups to select a topic from the expert lectures in the respective term and then to present the research area of the guest to the members of the seminar group. The seminar participants thus accumulate background information on the specific research area that is the topic of the guest lecture and learn how to pose questions and discuss scientific subject matter with the experts. Initial contacts to external guest researchers are thus made possible.


Preparation of the subject matter prior to the expert lecture, attendance of the weekly lecture series, active participation in discussions and manual protocols from each seminar Upon the successful completion of the seminar the student obtains 3 CP (Ungraded - No weighting of CP)
