08F: Arrange Offered in alternate years Advanced immunology including contemporary topics of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Development and differentiation, lymphoid sub-populations, cell cooperation, cytokines, immunogenetics and major histocompatibility restriction, antigen receptor systems, antigen processing pathways, clinical aspects, including the interactions of retroviruses, particularly the AIDS (HIV) virus, with the immune system, and the use of immunologic systems to study gene regulation, receptor-ligand interactions, and other fundamental molecular processes. Lectures and discussion. Prerequisite: Biochemistry 102 or an equivalent, or permission of the instructor. Noelle and associates. 145. Human Genetics (Identical to Genetics 145)

10S: Arrange Offered in alternate years This course will consider both basic scientific and therapeutic aspects of three important areas of immunology: vaccination, tumor immunology, and autoimmunity. The vaccination module will consider current vaccination strategies and new advances in vaccinology. The tumor immunology module will consider the challenges of tumor antigen identification and mechanism of delivery to the immune system to combat malignancies. Autoimmunity will be discussed to describe basic mechanisms behind the disease and what can be done to modulate the immune response to prevent or treat such diseases. Sessions will consist of a faculty-lead discussion of the primary literature relating to each topic, interspersed with student lead presentations on selected areas. Prerequisite: A previous immunology course and/or permission of an instructor. Usherwood and associates. 148. Advanced Molecular Pathogenesis

09F: Arrange Offered in alternate years This course uses the discussion of emerging model systems to illustrate important concepts in microbiology. The format will combine lectures and the discussion of primary literature/review articles—similar to the format of the Molecular Pathogenesis course (M/I 148). An important goal of the course is to introduce graduate students to potential topics for post-doctoral research and to some of the faculty that work in these areas. Each course period will focus on an individual topic in some depth. Students will present a one-hour lecture followed by leading a one-hour discussion of papers related to the topic of the day. Students will be expected to present papers in one class (which have been selected and compiled), and discuss these papers in the context of material covered in the lecture portion of the class. Guests will include 2-3 people from the Microbiology and Immunology Seminar Series who work on model systems discussed in the class. The schedule of the course will be arranged such that the papers are discussed the week before the visiting speaker’s seminar. The students will meet with the speaker immediately after the seminar for an informal discussion and reception. Attending this discussion/reception will be required for the students in the class, but open to any students that want to attend. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. O’Toole and Hogan. 167.

All terms: Arrange This course is required for all graduate students, based on the assertion that an essential element of graduate education is the experience gained in teaching other students. Such teaching experience is of particular relevance to students interested in academic careers. Students will conduct laboratory or discussion sessions in undergraduate courses under the supervision of the course faculty. The faculty and student teaching assistant work very closely to develop lab and discussion assignments. In some cases, the students are encouraged to present lectures for which they receive detailed feedback on their teaching style. In all cases students will receive instruction on effective teaching techniques through weekly preparation sessions. Topics for discussion include how to teach the material, how to run a discussion, how to evaluate student responses, and grading. Performance will be monitored throughout the term and appropriate evaluation, coupled with detailed suggestions for improvement, will be provided. This course is not open to undergraduates. Prerequisite: At least one year of graduate study. Staff of the Program. 197. Graduate Research I: Level I

All terms: Arrange An original individual experimental or theoretical investigation beyond the undergraduate level in Microbiology and Immunology. This course is open only to graduate students, prior to passing their qualifying exam; it may be elected for credit more than once. This course carries two course credits and should be elected by students electing only departmental colloquia in addition to research. Staff of the Program. 199. Graduate Research I: Level III

F, W, S: Arrange All students must take a journal club/RIP course during each term of residence, except summer. An essential element of scientific training is in the critical analysis and communication of experimental research in an oral format. Evaluation will be based on quality of the work described, quality of critical analysis, and on presentation style, including effective use of audio-visual materials. All students will be required to participate in at least one Journal Club/Research in Progress series. Although minor variations in format exist among the several series, all students will make oral presentations that describe work from the current literature. Normally these series meet every other week for two hours. This course is not open to undergraduates. M/I 264. Immunology M/I 265. Molecular Pathogenesis M/I 271. Chromatin Structure 297.
