| Course description | This course examines the mechanisms that are associated with the development of inflammatory disease. The inflammatory processes that lead to development of inflammatory disease in the nervous system, liver, lung and kidney will be considered. Potential therapeutic strategies will be discussed in the context of our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of inflammation. The course will have a combination of seminar-based teaching and student-led moderated discussion sessions to develop the main teaching themes. |
