Microbiologia e immunologia

About this Course

Il Corso Integrato di Microbiologia ed Immunologia ha il duplice scopo di illustrare da un lato i concetti base della struttura della cellula microbica con particolare attenzione agli aspetti biochimici, fisiologici e morfologici dei procarioti e di altri patogeni umani, e dall'altro lo studio della fisiopatologia derivante da infezioni dovute alla presenza di agenti patogeni con relativi indicatori fenotipici e genotipici. Attenzione particolare è rivolta al ruolo in tutte le vicende umane, e nel mantenere e favorire il benessere del nostro pianeta. Il modulo di Immunologia del Corso Integrato di Microbiologia ed Immunologia ha lo scopo di fornire allo studente i fondamenti dell'Immunologia di base e del suo ruolo nella difesa contro le infezioni. In particolare, il corso fornirà nozioni riguardanti le basi molecolari e cellulari della risposta immunitaria innata ed adattativa, presenterà i diversi meccanismi che il sistema immunitario utilizza nella risposta alle infezioni, ed infine accennerà alle principali metodiche di laboratorio basate sull'immunologia. The combined Microbiology and Immunology course has the dual aim of illustrating, on the one hand, the basic concept of microbe cell structure, especially the biochemistry, physiology and morphology of prokaryotes and other human pathogens, and, on the other, the physiopathology of infections caused by pathogens and their phenotypes and genotypes. There is a special focus on their relevance to human health and the well-being of the planet. The Immunology module of this joint course aims to provide learners with a basic understanding of the role immunology plays in combatting infection. It will explore the differences between innate and adaptive immune response at the molecular and cellular level, and the diverse mechanisms used by the immune system to fight infection. Learners will also study the main laboratory techniques used in immunology.
