Course objective :  Partim Immunology : Having a global view of the mechanisms involved in the innate and adaptative immune response.

Partim Virology : Having a general view of the diversity of the virus and the complexicity of the interaction between the viruses and their hosts. Helping in understanding the immune response that allows to fight virus infection.
Prerequisites :  None
Workshops :  Pratical course given during the second semester in the TP room of the institute of pharmacy. Contact with various techniques of virology and immunology
Organization :  Course divided into two parts: immunology during the first semester and virology during the second semester
Written notes :  Partim immunology: No syllabus. The students will have the slides that are projected during the lessons. PWP presentations will be given under a printed version or via an electronic access to the student websites. Book: Immunology J. Kuby (Dunod, France)

Assessment :  Oral evaluation on the theory and the practical course. The fibal note will be calculated on the following way:
1. A maximum of 20 points will be given to responses to 2 questions of virology.
2. A maximum of 20 points will be given to responses to 2 questions of immunology.
3. A maximum of 10 points will be given to a response to 1 question on the pratical course.
