Mastering biotechnologies and therapeutic innovations

Level 1 -

Fundamentals of Immunology and Immunotherapy

Presentation

Why participate?

Acquire fundamental knowledge in immunology and immunotherapy and develop a shared language by mastering key concepts.

Training Context:

Recent advances in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and immunology have led to improvements in existing treatments and the development of new therapies, particularly in the field of immunotherapy and, more broadly, biopharmaceuticals.
A solid understanding of immunology fundamentals is essential to grasp the mechanisms of action of major therapeutic and prophylactic products, as well as their limitations.

Learning objectives

  • Master the principles of immunology: Understand how the immune system works.
  • Know the different cell types and their functions: Identify immune system cells and their roles.
  • Identify antibodies and their mechanisms: List antibody types and explain their actions.
  • Know the main immunotherapy products: Be familiar with immunotherapy products available on the market and in development.
  • Evaluate immunotherapy: Understand the mechanisms, potential, and limitations of immunotherapy products.
