CNWY40110 Molecular Neuroimmunology
About the course
Focuses on the interaction between the immune and nervous systems at molecular, cellular and systems levels.
Credits ECTS 5
Dates January 17th - March 28th 2013
Schedule Weekly, Thursdays, 10am - 1pm
Module co-ordinator Dr John O'Connor
Module organisers: Dr John O'Connor, Dr Antonio Campos-Torres

Course structure
The module is delivered as 8 x 3 hours of seminar-style sessions designed to encourage interaction and discussion between lecturers and students
Credit requirements
- Prior to each seminar, you are required to read and be prepared to discuss recent reviews on the areas covered in the seminar
- You will be assessed on the basis of a learning journal, which you keep throughout the course.
- You will also prepare a mock grant application relevant to the course topics and present this to peers and PIs
(presentations will take place after the last session at the same time/location as the lectures, date to be confirmed)
What does it cover?
- Focuses on the interaction between the immune and nervous systems at molecular, cellular and systems levels.
- Provides an overview of current and developing concepts in neuroimmunology from both neuroscience and immunology perspectives.
- Aims to familiarise students with the:
- Molecular and cellular elements of interconnectivity between the immune and nervous systems
- Effect of neuro-immuno interaction on physiological responses and disease processes
Why enrol?
On completion, you will be able to:
- Appreciate how recent developments in neuroimmunology are changing established concepts in both immunology and neuroscience
- Evaluate new developments from a perspective that encompasses concepts and paradigms from both immunology and neuroscience perspectives
- Apply neuroimmunological concepts to their own research
