A Mathematical Adventure in Immunology by Carmen Molina-Paris
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Embark on a mathematical journey through immunology in this captivating lecture by Carmen Molina-Paris from the University of Leeds. Explore the intricate workings of the immune system, from its molecular components to cellular interactions, and discover how mathematical models can help decipher its complex dynamics. Learn about cutting-edge experimental techniques like flow cytometry and single-cell genomics, and their role in advancing our understanding of immune responses. Delve into key questions surrounding T cell generation, dendritic cell requirements for immune responses, and pathogen infectivity quantification. Gain insights into the historical perspective of infectious diseases, the concept of clonal selection, and the distinction between innate and adaptive immunity. Examine the various components of the immune system, including barriers, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages, while also touching upon protein trafficking, peptides, and the development of vaccines. This comprehensive talk offers a unique blend of mathematics and immunology, providing a deeper understanding of how our bodies defend against pathogens and infectious diseases.
