Bridge core immunology with clinical innovation, using multi-omics and patient data to accelerate precision immunotherapy and diagnostics.

Translational immunology

In this intensive summer course, you will bridge fundamental immunology and clinical innovation, exploring how immune dysregulation, whether deficient, excessive, or chronically inflamed, drives infections, cancer, autoimmunity, and age-related diseases. You will examine breakthrough immunotherapies and learn to leverage multi-omics technologies and patient data to accelerate precision medicine, bridging from the bench to bedside. The course features world-renowned experts who will help you develop the skills to translate immune insights into next-generation diagnostics and therapeutics.
