| 551-0318-00L | Immunology II  | 3 credits | 2V | M. Kopf, S. R. Leibundgut, A. Oxenius, E. Slack, further lecturers | |
| Abstract | Introduction into the cellular and molecular basis of the immune system and immune responses against diverse pathogens, tumors, transplants, and self (autoimmunity) | ||||
| Learning objective | The lectures will provide a detailed understanding: - how innate and adaptive immune responses interact at the cellular and molecular level. - how the immune system recognizes and fights against pathogenic microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, and parasites. - why lymphocytes tolerate self molecules. - about function and dysfunction the intestinal immune system. - immunopathology and inflammatory diseases. | ||||
| Content | The aim of lecture is to understand: > the immunological complement system > migration and homing of immune cells > the intestinal immune system > tumor immunology > tolerance and autoimmunity > T cell memory > pathogen associated molecular patterns > Immune defense against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites | ||||

| Abstract | This monthly meeting is a platform for Zurich-based immunology research groups to present and discuss their ongoing research projects. At each meeting three PhD students or Postdocs from the participating research groups present an ongoing research project in a 30 min seminar followed by a plenary discussion. | ||||
| Learning objective | The aim of this monthly meeting is to provide further education for master and doctoral students as well as Postdocs in diverse topics of immunology and to give an insight in the related research. Furthermore, this platform fosters the establishment of science- and technology-based interactions between the participating research groups. | ||||
| Content | Presentation and discussion of current research projects carried out by various immunology-oriented research groups in Zurich. | ||||
| Lecture notes | none | ||||

Oxenius, L. Pelkmans, P. Sander | |
| Abstract | Literature seminar for students at the masters level and PhD students. Introduction to the current research topics in infectious diseases; Introduction to key pathogens which are studied as model organisms in this field; Overview over key research groups in the field of infectious diseases in Zürich. | ||||
| Learning objective | Working with the current research literature. Getting to know the key pathogens serving as model organisms and the research technologies currently used in infection biology. | ||||
| Content | for each model pathogen (or key technology): 1. introduction to the pathogen 2. Discussion of one current research paper. The paper will be provided by the respective supervisor. He/she will give advice (if required) and guide the respective literature discussion. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Teachers will provide the research papers to be discussed. Students will prepare handouts for the rest of the group for their assigned seminar. | ||||
| Literature | Teachers will provide the research papers to be discussed. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Restricted to max 20 students. Please sign up before 6.2.2015 via e-mail to micro_secr@micro.biol.ethz.ch and include the following information: 551-1100-00L; your name, your e-mail address, university/eth, students (specialization, semester), PhD students (research group, member of a PhD program? which program?).

| 551-1118-00L | Cutting Edge Topics: Immunology and Infection Biology II | 2 credits | 1S | A. Oxenius, M. Bachmann, B. Becher, C. Halin Winter, M. Kopf, S. R. Leibundgut, C. Münz, A. Trkola, M. van den Broek | |
| Abstract | Weekly seminar about cutting edge topics in immunology and infection biology. Internationally renowned experts present their current research followed by an open discussion. | ||||
| Learning objective | Weekly seminar about cutting edge topics in immunology and infection biology. Internationally renowned experts present their current research followed by an open discussion. The aim of this course is to confront students with current research topics and with scientific presentation. The course offers the opportunity to gain in depth knowledge about diverse topics which are often only briefly touched in the concept courses and to engage in discussion with experts in the field. | ||||
| Content | Immunology and infection biology. The specific topics are variable and depend each semester on the list of invited experts. | ||||
