Welcome to Immunobiology, a course about the ways in which the immune system recognizes and responds to cells or molecules that are non-self. We will explore the basic biological processes, on a cellular and molecular level, which underlie the function of the immune system in health and disease. Take this course if you have a curiosity about immunbiology, background in Cell and Molecular Biology and Chemistry, and an eagerness to study and learn not only the "factual knowledge" of immunobiology, but also the ways in which immunologists design experiments and answer questions concerning the function of the immune system!

This web site will provide you with material that will help you succeed in the course. Bookmark this site and browse it regularly because information will be frequently updated. The Schedule page gives important dates for exams and assignments, and when we complete a topic, it will be linked to study questions that you may use to help prepare for the quizzes and exams. Course policies (grading, attendance) are explained on the Policies page. The Resources page offers links and suggestions that will help you further explore Immunobiology and begin work on your term project.
