This course will review basic concepts of immunology and immunogenetics, highlight methods of cellular and humoral immunology as well as of immunogenetics, and discuss pathogenesis of several neuroimmune disorders. The participants will acquire knowledge about modern cellular, humoral and molecular immunology applied to clinical practice primarily in neurology and learn about the utility of new biological therapies.
The course’s instructor in charge:
Prof. Dr. Bernadette Kalman, MD, PhD, DSc
Lectures will be given by:
Bernadette Kalman, MD, PhD, DSc;
Peter Acs, MD, PhD;
Istvan Gyurjan, PhD
