The aim of this module is to provide students with an overview of current research developments in the infection biology area, and how these are translating into novel therapeutic modalities. Students will learn key concepts in Infection Biology from the bottom up, starting with the molecular basis of host-pathogen interaction, moving to animal models of disease, then to population level studies in epidemiology and emerging infection, and finally to therapeutics. A session on “new tools” will overview cutting-edge technologies with particular relevance to infection biology.
