    Pré-requis :

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of immunology at least 6 ects and basic knowledge of neurology at least 6 ects (flipped classroom available).

    Compétences attestées (transversales, spécifiques) :

(T) Researcher - Développement et intégration de savoirs hautement spécialisés théoriques

Mobiliser des savoirs hautement spécialisés, dont certains sont à l’avant-garde du savoir dans un domaine de travail ou d’études, comme base d’une pensée originale.
Développer une conscience critique des savoirs dans un domaine et/ou à l’interface de plusieurs domaines.
Résoudre des problèmes pour développer de nouveaux savoirs et de nouvelles procédures et intégrer les savoirs de différents domaines.
Conduire des projets de recherche fondamentaux ou finalisés dans le domaine de la biologie moléculaire et cellulaire.
Apporter des contributions novatrices dans le cadre d’échanges de haut niveau, et dans des contextes internationaux.

(S) Learning outcomes: The student gains theoretical and practical insights in neuro-immunological structures and diseases with an emphasis on pathogenesis and research development for diagnosis and biotherapy treatments.
- Neuro-immunology knowledge: the student can describe central nervous system cells and structure interacting with the immune system and involved in several neuro-immunological diseases, has insights in the epidemiology of these diseases, can interpret measures to diagnose or correct these diseases, explain how biological mechanisms cause these diseases and acquire a comprehensive overview of the field.
- Future: the student can discuss recent scientific advances contributing to the progress of biotherapy treatments, analyse, understand and manipulate interactions between central nervous system and the immune system, specifically related to the context of the immune privilege sites, paraneoplastic disorders and cancers of the central nervous system.
- Practical skills: the student can develop his English proficiency, speed-reading capacities, listening, writing and oral presenting skills, and interactivity in scientific questioning.

To gain insight on neuroimmunological structures and diseases, paraneoplastic disorders and central nervous system cancers, with emphasis on research for pathogenesis, diagnosis and biotherapy treatments; to understand interactions of cells from the central nervous system and the immune system; to study recent scientific advances in biotherapy treatments; to develop written and oral communication in English, to present and to discuss research results at a journal club or at a research meeting; to develop speed-reading skills.

Program: this teaching unit, in English, builds on students' basic neurology and immunology knowledge to develop fundamental research concepts in neuro-immunology that have applications in clinical and pharmaceutical research in the field of oncology and neurology. The topics will be:

1) The nervous system, definition of an immuno-privileged site; migration of immune system cells into the nervous system; role of cerebrospinal fluid in blood / brain exchanges; neuro-immunology detected by the neuropathologist.
2) Interactions between cancer, immune system and nervous system; Anti-tumor immunity and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes
3) Innate neuro-immunity and stress
4) Biotherapies: treatments based on the use of cytokines or antibodies; immuno-targeted therapeutics in neurodegenerative diseases; immunotherapies in multiple sclerosis and related diseases: mechanisms and strategies. 

Speakers: Pedagogical team of immunology and neurology of the University of Lyon, UFR Biosciences, Faculty of Medicine of Lyon East and South. Conferences on news items will be organized. The speakers will be invited on the basis of their notoriety.
