Each semester, we organize a journal club-seminar series to discuss the up to the minute issues in cell biology. This semester, we are moderating our focus somewhat to discuss the current topics in the scientific literature on immunology. Papers will be drawn from recent issues of journals such as Cell, Science, Nature and Journal of Immunology. Current enrollment or a strong background in Immunology, while useful, are not prerequisites for this course.
Undergraduate students are welcome and are encouraged to attend.
Undergraduates interested in taking the course for Honors may do so, upon receiving the consent of the instructor. Similarly, students wishing to take the course for independent study credit may register for 1 hour of BSC 287, with consent of the instructor. Henderson et al., J. Immunol. Arias et al., J.
