The American Association of Immunologists 2009 Introductory Course in Immunology June 19-25, 2009 The University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Don’t miss the most comprehensive introduction to immunology available!
An intensive course taught by world-renowned teachers and researchers in immunology. This two-part course provides a comprehensive overview of the basics on immunology for students new to the discipline or seeking more information to complement general biology or science training. Upon completion, students will have the tools necessary to understand and discuss current concepts and methods in immunology. Part I (June 19-22) is a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of immunology and is suitable for students with a general biology background. Part II (June 23-25) is a lecture course covering major areas of immunology and will require an understanding of basic immunology. Parts I and II may be taken independently at the discretion of the student. Course and registra- tion details to be announced.
