MCB 6355 Microbial/Host Defense
- Credits: 1
- Prerequisites: immunology
- When Offered: Spring
- Syllabus: MCB6355 Microbial/Host Defense
Description
Principles of host defense to microbial invasion in the context of cellular biology involving both plants and animals.
Course Goals
- To develop the concepts and understand the principles of bacterial virulence, host defense to microbial invasion and host-bacteria interactions
- To develop the concepts and skills required to understand and critically evaluate research that addresses molecular and cellular biology events involved in host defense to microbial pathogens and virulence mechanisms of bacterial pathogens
Note: This class assumes that students possess a limited understanding of immunology. A foundational immunological background will be developed.
