Topic

Immunology Catch-Up course revises the most important elements of Basic Immunology. Biotechnology MSc student who must take Applied Immunology course in the spring semester of the first year should have a solid background in basic immunology. Here we provide an opportunity to catch-up the basic immunology knowledge for those students who either did not have the chance to learn immunology before or they are uncertain in their level of knowledge.
