Physicochemical Concepts in Immunology and Virology

Overview

This three-day course is intended to educate physicists, physical chemists, and engineers about the basic concepts in immunology and describe how approaches rooted in the physical sciences can help address important immunological questions.

The primary goal of the course is to inspire physical and engineering scientists to work together with immunologists and virologists to advance our understanding of the immune response to pathogens and to harness that understanding in order to develop therapeutic protocols (such as vaccines).
