Series Details

About

As suggested by its name, this course is going to be about medical immunology, more specifically infection immunity. In addition to the immunology part, this series is going to dig deep into various infectious diseases. Examples might include 2019-nCoV, Ebola virus, HIV, etc. This would be a rigorous course but doesn't require prior knowledge in immunology. However, it would help if you have any. In addition to the sessions, there would also be seminars, games, practices to help you learn about expertise in this field. After all, it is also a great idea to just immerse yourself in knowledge about immunology. Come and have fun!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Since this would be a rigorous course, it is really important to contact the tutor as soon as possible if you are having problems following.

About the Tutor

I am a high school student from China, and I am here to help others to master biology. I am fluent in Chinese and English, but can also speak a little bit of Spanish. My hobbies include playing piano, playing chess, and swimming. However, what I really like is biology, and that is also one of the reasons I am here. Getting 5 in AP Bio and A+ in the most challenging level of biology our school offers, I am also a biology tutor that has won gold medals in Bio-Olympiads. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your high school biology homework or exam or AP Bio exam, don't hesitate to let me know, as I am always willing to reach out and help!

This session would continue to explore the Toll-Like Receptors and their roles in immune responses. Just a reminder: this is college-level medical immunology sessions, but we would welcome learners of different prior knowledge as I want to create an inclusive community on Schoolhouse. So, please please please don't be shy to raise any question if you are confused about any point I made in the sessions.😀

Session 9

Other Topics

This session would focus on how the detection of antibodies (IgG, IgM, etc.) might imply about a person's state of health. Specifically, we would analyze both physiological reasons and pathological reasons that lead to the abnormal antibodies level (this session would include immunological concepts exceed infection immunity, as infections are not the only causes for antibodies level abnormalities). Hope you guys enjoy the session!

Session 10

Other Topics

As the session right next to the last one, this session would focus on the clinical diagnostics involving complements. Similarly, we would discuss both physiological reasons and pathological reasons that lead to the abnormal complements level in addition to introducing the complement fixation test and its historical background.
