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.
