Teaching

IMIN 371 - Introduction to Immunology

MMI 501 - Seminar in Medical Microbiology and Immunology

MMI 502 - Advanced Topics in Medical Microbiology and Immunology

MMI 133 - Microbiology for Life and Health

Introductory course in clinical microbiology. The course begins with basic information on microorganisms, the immune system, vaccines, infection transmission and control, public health concerns and antimicrobials. The latter part of the course concentrates on infectious diseases caused by pathogenic organisms. Cannot be taken for credit if the student has taken INT D 120. MMI 133 can be used for microbiology credit in nursing and is equivalent to INT D 120.

MMI 445 - Clinical Microbiology and Human Health

This course will focus on the interactions between clinically relevant microorganisms and the host. Topics include important issues and contemporary problems in clinical microbiology regarding infectious diseases relevant to health care. Aspects that will be studied are: pathogenesis, epidemiology, immune responses, treatment and infection control. Recent advances in vaccines, laboratory diagnosis and techniques will be included. Prerequisites: MMI 133, or MLSCI 242 and MLSCI 243, or IMIN 200, or consent of department.
