About
Dr. Troy Baldwin is currently appointed as Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry.
Research
Research in the Baldwin lab is focused on understanding the signals that control the generation and function of T cells. Under this umbrella, we study the mechanisms that regulate T cell tolerance, cancer immunotherapy and vaccine responses.
Courses
IMIN 452 - Advanced Immunology
A lecture course on the detailed mechanisms of the immune system, describing recent discoveries in cellular and molecular immunology. Topics include mechanisms of T-cell receptor selection, antigen processing, activation of B and T lymphocytes, cellular collaboration, negative and positive regulatory mechanisms in immunity, transplantation, cytokine actions and interactions, autoimmunity, interaction between immune systems and pathogens, and immunogenetics. Prerequisites: BIOCH 200 and IMIN 371. May not be taken for credit if credit already obtained in MMI 552. (Offered jointly by the Department of Biological Sciences, the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and the Department of Oncology). [Biological Sciences]
MMI 552 - Advanced Immunology
A lecture course on the detailed mechanisms of the immune system, describing recent discoveries in cellular and molecular immunology. Topics include the mechanism of T-cell receptor selection, antigen processing, activation of B and T lymphocytes, cellular collaboration, negative and positive regulatory mechanisms in immunity, transplantation, cytokine actions and interactions, interaction between immune systems and pathogens, and immunogenetics. Lectures are the same as IMIN 452, but there will be an additional requirement of a written paper to evaluate a current topic in immunology. May not be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained for IMIN 452. Consent of Department required.
