Immunology 101 explains how the human immune system fights infectious diseases and cancer. Learn how pathogens cause disease, distinguish between the non-specific and specific immune systems, and understand the critical role of white blood cells. Many of biopharma’s blockbuster biologics are modifications of the molecules and cells used by our immune system, including T-cells, B-cells, antibodies, and cytokine inhibitors. This course is an introductory course designed for those new to immunology.
