Description
Immunometabolism refers to the study of the interplay between metabolic and immune systems. In the last three decades, this area of study has re-shaped many aspects of biomedicine. Now, immunometabolism is recognized to play important roles in homeostasis and its dysregulation has been linked to several chronic diseases that currently plague society. In this course, students will learn theorized biological origins of immunometabolism, how immunity influences metabolic homeostasis, how metabolism influences immunological responses, and how this relates to disease. While this content will be primarily based in preclinical research, students will also learn emerging therapies that have resulted from this research, particularly for diseases linked to obesity such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Prerequisite(s): CPPS 302.3 and CPPS 303.3
