80052377 - Advances in Immunoengineering: Fundamentals and Cutting Edge Advances

Tuesday, January 5, 2021, 4:00 PM - Thursday, January 28, 2021, 5:30 PM, N/A

The field of Immunoengineering combines the diverse and complex fields of engineering and immunology and is transforming patient treatment in cancer, autoimmunity, regeneration, and transplantation. There is a significant need for training of engineers in immunology and for training immunologists in quantitative engineering techniques. Moreover, there is need to bridge basic immunological discoveries with advances in clinical application. This course will review the fundamentals of the immune system and its components, engineering strategies to modulate the immune system, and clinical applications.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The course is designed for graduate students, medical students, residents, and fellows in engineering, immunology, and related fields. Engineering and clinical faculty and members of industry will benefit from the course as well.

HOW TO OBTAIN CREDIT

Post activity, an online evaluation will be available to attendees to evaluate the activity and individual presentations and to identify future educational needs. Upon completion of the evaluation, the learner must attest to the number of hours in attendance. Credits earned will be added to the learner’s transcript and immediately available for print. The last day to access the evaluation and attest to your credits is March14, 2021. An outcome survey will be sent to all physician attendees within two months post activity to assist us in determining what impact this activity had on the learner’s practice.

1. Review the fundamentals and recent discoveries in the function of the immune system.
2. Identify engineering strategies to manipulate the immune system.
3. Describe the clinical applications of immunoengineering.
