About This Course

This advanced course is designed to help learners understand the complex and cutting-edge concepts in immunogenomics. It is well-acknowledged that managing diseases such as cancer and autoimmune diseases is difficult using traditional therapeutic approaches. Genetics is linked to diseases and our immune system forms the first line of protection against disease. This course helps to understand the complex interplay of genetic changes driving diseases, particularly cancer and the immune response elicited by the body. The concept of immunotherapy stems from this understanding. The course provides insight into the development of immunotherapies and the role of biomarkers in immunotherapy. The course is aimed to deliver a comprehensive overview of how immunotherapies such as CAR-T therapy work within the body, their clinical applications, and other practical aspects such as adverse and side effects. The program also provides a list of relevant research papers and discusses the career opportunities in this field and the key companies involved in immunogenomics.
CPD ACCREDITED

Who Is This Course For

This course is designed for a wide range of professionals, with a background in basic bioscience, oncology, genetics, immunology, or any associated field, and capable of self-learning. Undergraduate or graduates and postgraduate scholars, researchers, academicians such as lecturers and professors, policymakers, and other industry professionals who are looking to learn Immunogenomics as a subject are likely to benefit from this course. The course mentions selected research papers published in reputed and peer-reviewed international journals which will be useful to researchers working in this field. Those looking for career opportunities in the field of immunogenomics will also benefit from the course.

Meet Your Instructor

Dr. Christos Evangelou

Ph.D. in Cancer Biology, Division of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Sciences, University of Manchester, UK. Areas of expertise include cancer immunology, melanoma research, cancer immunotherapy, and mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance. During my Ph.D. research, I studied the role of chronic inflammation and cytokine IFN-gamma in adaptation and immunotherapy resistance in melanoma. By integrating high-throughput transcriptomic analyses and employing various cancer cell lines and animal models, I have developed methods to predict response to immunotherapy in melanoma patients. During my research, I have used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to knockout genes in human and mouse cell lines to assess the role of certain genes in immunotherapy resistance in melanoma.

Dr. Veronica Hughes

Veronica Hughes received her Ph.D. in medical science from the University of Florida. Her primary interest was cancer metastasis, dysregulation of the tumour microenvironment, and analysis of clinical trial design. Additionally, she engaged in the development of novel small animal models.

Dr. Matthias Schröder

Ph.D. in Immunology at the Division of Immunopharmacology of the University Clinic of Frankfurt am Main. Involved in basic and applied research for immunological interventions to treat cancer for 13 years. Matthias used a high-throughput CRISPR/Cas9 approach to generate a library of knockout cells that could be differentiated into immunosuppressive cells to investigate the potential loss of function situations. Currently involved in the development of fusion proteins to activate receptors of the TNF-superfamily (CD40, CD27, etc.) at a small German Biotech company as Head of Assay Development.
