Immunotherapy Immersion: A Non-Scientist Guide to Immune-Based Medicine

Immunotherapy Immersion: A Non-Scientist Guide to Immune-Based Medicine, explicitly designed for non-scientists, explores the fascinating world of immunology and the breakthrough therapeutics it inspires. The class begins with the intricate workings of the human immune system, meticulously describing the cells and actions used by the body to stop disease. It then digs deep into the medications that aid the immune system when cancer or autoimmune disease overwhelms it. Oncolytic virus therapy, monoclonal and bispecific antibody medications, antibody conjugate drugs, gene therapy, CRISPR, and CAR-T, among other immunotherapy approaches, are introduced in significant detail. This course highlights the pivotal roles, mechanisms of action, and next-generation innovation of each revolutionary treatment. Grab your spot today and unlock the secrets of immunology and biopharma’s cutting-edge innovations!
