About the course

Immunology covers the macromolecules that define the boundary between an organism's self, its commensals, and its environment, the developmental programming of cells that detect and respond to danger, and the impact of these cells and molecules on an organism's health. This field is often considered a discrete specialty in biomedical research, but at Caltech, immunology is treated as a complex biological system in which the roles of crucial components can be dissected and revealed by the system's performance under dynamic challenge. Caltech immunologists focus on areas where immunology is most illuminated by being viewed in a broader biological context, with strong synergy with research in developmental biology, structural biology, neurobiology and microbiology. This gives Caltech immunologists unusually strong access to new perspectives, technologies and approaches outside of the conventional boundaries of immunology.
