Furthermore, the students should be able to identify and discuss specific roles of the immune system in human fetal and adult tissues in health and disease but also discuss possibilities and caveats in today's research in tissue-specific immunology, e.g. ways to collect material and ethical considerations. |

Following a basic introduction to tissue-immunity, invited national and international lecturers will present their immunological research in one (or more) of the relevant tissues or tissue models, including both scientific and methodological aspects. The students will be asked to study one specific topic of tissue immunology in a group project work. The topic will be provided by the course leaders at the beginning of the course. An oral presentation and a written report is expected from all students at the end of the course. |
