AFRICAN IMMUNOBIOLOGY OF PARASITES, PATHOGENS, AND PATHOGENESIS
This course, supported by the University of Glasgow, the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme, and the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme, offers an expert symposium on advances in the immunobiology of parasites, pathogens, pathogenesis, and grant writing. The 2025 edition is set to be held at Sunbird Livingstonia Complex in Malawi from 30th March to 4th April 2025.
COURSE DETAILS
This course targets Master’s students in Immunology, PhD students, and early postdocs interested in the interaction between the immune system and pathogens, as well as how this underlies the pathogenesis of a wide range of infectious and non-communicable diseases. The course consists of intensive, interactive learning sessions and simulations focused on the latest advances in immunology, immune diseases, and the consequences of chronic immune activity on human health. The parasitology of malaria, HIV, TB, helminths, HPV, and other viruses, including COVID-19, will also be covered. Delivered by some of the leading researchers in the field, participants will benefit from grant writing, science communication, and career mentoring sessions.
COURSE REGISTRATION
The course is free for participants and includes accommodation, meals and a contribution to student’s travel (up to a maximum of 400 dollars). It is expected that if travel costs are likely to exceed this maximum, then students should apply (to their institution or externally) for any additional support required.
