The immunoengineering field is transforming cancer, autoimmunity, regeneration, and transplantation treatments by combining the diverse and complex fields of engineering and immunology. There is a significant need to train engineers in immunology and immunologists in quantitative engineering techniques. Moreover, there is a need to bridge basic immunological discoveries with advances in clinical application. This virtual three-week workshop will review immune system fundamentals and components, engineering strategies to modulate the immune system, and clinical applications.
Workshop attendees will learn about
• The fundamentals and recent discoveries of immune system functions.
• Engineering strategies to manipulate the immune system.
• Immunoengineering clinical applications.
Target Audience
The workshop is designed for graduate students, medical students, residents, and fellows in engineering, immunology, and related fields. Engineering and clinical faculty, and industry professionals will benefit from the course too.
Dates and Time
Every Tuesday and Thursday
