Detailed description of the programme

Immunology is a dynamically evolving field integrating knowledge of molecular and cell biology, physiology, histology and functional morphology (in the context of evolution and ontogenesis) relevant to the immune system (or host-pathogen interaction). Topics such as transplantation, allergies, immune deficiencies, autoimmunity, immunosuppression, immunotherapy, or anti-tumour immunity are typical areas of interest for immunologists. Immunology covers all levels of biological knowledge from molecules (cytokines, immunoglobulins, receptors, signalling molecules), through cells (a whole constellation of immunocompetent cells), whole organisms (there are transgenic animal models are often used) as well as communities (frequencies of different alleles of genes regulating the immune response, evolution of immune mechanisms). A separate emancipated part of immunology is clinical immunology focused on human as a model organism. All above mentioned topics and concept are covered in the study programme Immunology by the variety of lectures and practicals, including the topics of the diploma thesis.
