BIOL3037 2031-32
Immunology
This module covers the major topics in cellular and molecular immunology, including antigen recognition, antigen processing and presentation to B and T cells, the molecular events leading to the generation of antibody and T cell receptor diversity, antibody effector functions, the role of CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets and NK cells in immune responses, self-tolerance and autoimmunity, and the role of immunity in protection against pathogens and cancer.
In addition, this module aims to increase awareness that immunology, as well as being of intrinsic interest, has a broad impact on biology and medical sciences. We will also include a profile of the impact of research in Southampton on understanding major diseases, including cancer, profiling the ‘Southampton immunology footprint in global research’. -

This module covers the major topics in cellular and molecular immunology, including antigen recognition, antigen processing and presentation to B and T cells, the molecular events leading to the generation of antibody and T cell receptor diversity, antibody effector functions, the role of CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets and NK cells in immune responses, and the role of immunity in protection against pathogens and cancer. The module will allow core immunological principles to be utilised in developing a research proposal, forming the basis of module assessment.

BIOL2022 2025-26
Immunology, Infection and Inflammation
The course will give students an introduction to basic immune mechanisms and emphasizes the basic principles of immunology, including the cells and molecules that make up the innate and adaptive immune system. This first part will show how the immune system integrates a wide variety of different mechanisms to defend against the threats of multiple pathogens. The second part of the course deals with how the immune system operates in a variety of disease situations and seeks to reinforce basic immunological principles. Many modern drugs exploit antibodies or immune cells and by examining their production we will show how the immune response can be exploited to provide valuable tools for the treatment of disease and scientific research. -

MEDI6281 2027-28
Immunotherapy
This module can be taken as part of one of our awards (PG Cert, PG Diploma, MSc) or as a short course with or without completing the assessment.
This module develops applied understanding of allergen immunotherapy across allergic disease with a focus on aeroallergen immunotherapy, food immunotherapy and venom immunotherapy.
It also considers aspects of immunotherapy services in an NHS setting and provides an overview of some of the existing NHS services.
This is taught once a year and typically involves approximately 10 hours of student engagement per week. -
