| Learning Outcome: | At the end of the module, the students are able to create a common understanding of immune responses and their relevance regarding the protection against pathogens. They are able to evaluate cellular and humoral immune mechanisms and to understand and apply immunological tools in diagnostics and therapy. Further, they are able to analyze the main molecular mechanisms of an immune response in the context of pathophysiological processes in immune-mediated disorders. Students are able to evaluate immunological markers within the differential diagnosis of immune-mediated diseases.At the end oh the module students can explain and apply scientific principles as well as specialised and in-depth knowledge. They can develop independent ideas and concepts to solve scientific and professional problems. |
