Seminars
Seminar Immunology I (7C0713)
For students of Master programs in Biology, Biochemistry (3 ECTS) and students of Medicine (Wahlfach im 1. Studienabschnitt). This seminar accompanies the lecture "Current Immunology: From Basics to Application". Time: Wednesdays 17:00 - 18:30, GH9-NB00.005, Biocenter, Großhaderner Str. 9, 82152 Planegg-Martinsried.
Lecturers: Thomas Brocker, Vigo Heissmeyer, Ludger Klein, Jan Kranich, Anne Krug, Reinhard Obst, Barbara Schraml.
This seminar deals with the biological basis of immunity and how we know about it from experiments. By looking at classical and current publications following the topics of the "Current Immunology" lecture the central concepts of Immunology will be introduced. The class requires reading of several papers per week and the preparation of summaries, abstracts and flow charts.

Seminar WiSe 2024/25 - Gene regulation in the adaptive immune system (7C0712)
For students of Biology, Biochemistry and Medicine. Date and time to be arranged by lecturer, Prof. Dr. Vigo Heissmeyer, with participants. Please send an email to vigo.heissmeyer@med.uni-muenchen.de from your campus account by December 10, 2024 if you are interested in attending.
Gene regulation in lymphocytes is a central aspect of the adaptive immune response. The seminar's aim is to understand molecular mechanisms that control lymphocyte function and find out how, more generally, current methodology can address open questions in immunology. The participants will search for publications, discuss and present them.
Seminar WiSe 2024/25 - Immunological Tolerance (7C0725)
Location: BMC, Institut für Immunologie, Großhaderner Str. 9, 82152 Martinsried
Time: weekly at a time to be determined.
Please send an email to ludger.klein@med.uni-muenchen.de.
The adaptive immune system can recognize an unlimited array of molecular structures but omits the host. This unresponsivenes to the molecular self is a key feature of adaptive immunity and named immunological tolerance. The students will look at and present key papers that have dissected it.
Practical Courses
Practical Course Immunology WiSe 2023/24 (7C0709)
