BIOE 36Q: The Biophysics of Innate Immunity

The innate immune system provides our first line of defense against disease--bothnninfections, and cancer. Innate immune effectors such as host defense peptides arenndeployed by numerous cell types (for instance neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells,nnepithelial cells and keratinocytes) and work by biophysical mechanisms of action. The ourse draws from the primary literature and covers the evolution, structures, mechanisms,and physiological functions of important "innate immune effectors" (components of the innate immune system that can attack pathogens, and infected or host cells, and kill or incapacitate them directly). The course is aimed at students who have an interest in biochemistry, molecular/cellular biology, biophysics, and/or bioengineering.
