Course 2

Immunogenomics: Understanding the Immune Response to Disease

This advanced-level course explores the molecular and genetic basis of cancer, its progression, and associated immune responses.

What you’ll learn
  • Learn about the genetic basis of cancer and the immune response elicited by the body.
  • Understand the mechanisms of antigen presentation, immune activation, and exhaustion.
  • Learn about the role of biomarkers in immunotherapy development.
  • Develop a strong understanding of concepts such as immunogenotyping and immunophenotyping.
  • Learn about the development of CAR-T therapies, their mechanism of action, clinical applications, and side effects.

Course 3

Vaccine Design

Vaccines have led to the eradication of diseases such as polio, but how are they designed? This course explores how vaccines are developed to ensure both effectiveness and safety.

What you’ll learn
  • Understand the importance of vaccines and the immunology behind how they work.
  • Learn about the stages of the drug development process, including clinical approval and post-approval safety monitoring.
  • Gain insight into safety regulations and ethical considerations in vaccine use.
  • Explore how vaccines can be optimised and learn about emerging vaccine technologies.

Common questions

Will I receive a certificate for each course?

Yes. You will receive an individual CPD-accredited certificate for each successfully completed course. Once you have completed all courses in the programme, you will also receive an additional CBEHx Professional Certificate recognising the full learning pathway and its combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Are the courses CPD-accredited?

Yes. Each course included in the programme is individually CPD-accredited. The additional consolidated Professional Certificate is issued by CBEHx and records the courses completed and their combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Can my previous learning count?

No. Courses purchased or completed individually before enrolling in a Professional Certificate Programme do not count towards its requirements. To receive the consolidated CBEHx Professional Certificate, you must purchase the complete programme and successfully complete all included courses, or complete the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Previously awarded individual course certificates remain valid. Read more in the Support Centre

Can I buy courses individually?

Yes. All constituent courses remain available for individual purchase. However, courses purchased individually do not count towards a Professional Certificate Programme, and individual purchases do not include the consolidated Professional Certificate. To earn it, purchase the complete programme or meet the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Read more in the Support Centre

How long can I access the courses?

Standalone Professional Certificate purchases provide 12 months of course access from enrolment, subject to the published terms. If you access the courses through a subscription, access continues while your subscription remains active. Certificates already earned remain valid after access ends. Read more in the Support Centre
