Course Overview

We aim at exposing Brazilian students to discussions on the state-of-the-art concepts of immunology and their application to the understanding of chronic diseases, either infectious or noncommunicable diseases, and in the implementation of prophylactic and therapeutic interventions. The course is divided into 4 one-week courses, that could be attended independently and will be delivered simultaneously to Paris and New York, via videoconference. All students and the responsible for the course will meet and attend to the course (so it is a presential course) which will be transmitted online simultaneously to S_o Paulo, Paris and New York. The responsible for the course will mediate discussions with the students at the end of every videoconference session. The discussion will serve as evaluation of active participation of the students by the responsible for the course.
