80060298 - Fundamentals and Advances in Immunoengineering

Tuesday, January 3, 2023, 4:00 PM - Thursday, January 19, 2023, 5:30 PM, Internet Live Conference, Baltimore, MD


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.

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.
