Speakers:
Teaching Staff Immunology from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Invited speaker: Prof Yaqoub Ashhab, Polytecnic University of Palestine, Hebron
Prof Xavier Daura, Bioinformatics Unit, IBB, UAB
Other speakers will be invited based on their excellence.
The tutorials will focus on the use of bioinformatic tools applied to Immunology and immunogenetics. Resolution of bioinformatics problems will be part of the assessment (25%).
Learning outcomes:
Knowing the main structures of antigen recognition in the adaptive immune response and their genetics. Basic bioinformatics applied to the study of immunology;
