The focus is on presentation of manuscripts highlighting innovative discoveries and technical approaches as well as controversial results that address topics related to development and disease. The topics detail contemporary use of genetically engineered organisms to define cell signaling required to establish cell lineages in developing tissues, the process of gametogenesis and epigenetic imprinting and how these mechanisms are disrupted in diseases such as cancer.

Presentation and critique by students of recent scientific papers in the field of immunology and infectious diseases.

Presentation of research projects and literature review by faculty and graduate students within the department as well as by guest speakers from around the world.

Specific problem in some aspect of animal or biological sciences/area of research interest. Students prepare a contract with their faculty sponsor. Can be used for master's students to review literature on the topic chosen for their laboratory research but this requires an oral presentation.

A systematic introduction to components of the mammalian immune system and how it functions under normal and abnormal conditions. This course will cover both the cellular and molecular principles of innate and adaptive immune responses, including those that protect the host from infections, achieve central and peripheral tolerance, and provide immune surveillance against tumor cells. It also includes discussion of immune system dysfunction, including allergic responses, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency.
