Join one of the Faculty of Medicine's MOOCs and continue to develop your knowledge and skills.
Understand the fundamentals of vaccinology in the context of what vaccines are and how they protect us. This specialisation explains the fundamental principles of virology and assesses the different approaches to detecting and tracking viruses among different populations and treating viruses.
Find out more
Enhance your knowledge in immunology. This specialisation provides an insight into the molecular and cellular components of the immune system and demonstrate how they interact to protect us from pathogens in health, as well as the consequences of their failure in disease.
Discover the immunological underpinnings of how vaccines induce protection.
Join the course
Explore the scientific understanding that went into vaccine development.
Understand the basic nature of viruses and basic concepts of how they replicate.
Understand how viruses interact with their hosts to infect, replicate, spread and cause disease.
Explore our innate immunity, which provides us our first, fast and inherited defence against infections.
Learn about the role of immune responses of the adaptive (acquired) immune system, which provides specialised immunity against pathogens.
Explore the mechanisms and immune responses involved in autoimmune diseases and in hyper-responsive phenomena.
Understand the different types of pathogens, their confrontation with human immune system, and the dramatic consequences of their evasive strategies.
Examine the consequences of chronic inflammation on the immune system and immune system malfunctions in tumour development.
