A basic, one-semestral course on immune system functioning from the systems biology point of view. The teaching is based on data-driven practical experience and is a compatible supplement to the hypothesis-driven classical education in immunology (winter semester MB150P14E Immunology). Please consider a parallel practical course Genomické metody (MB151P102) - for Czech students only - or Methods of functional genomics (MB140P86) - both in summer semester. There is no qualification prerequisite however, I would strongly recommend to pass the basic course (winter semester MB150P14E Immunology) to all students. We are going to repeat the corresponding knowledge of both Immunology and -omics technologies in the first half of the lesson followed by examples of 1-2 current studies in systems immunology. Each theoretical lesson will be followed by a practical lesson on data analysis from the articles. Suitable for students of biology, medicine, chemistry. The course is targeted to students of 3rd (BSc.) and 4th (1st MSc.) year (including Erasmus+) as well as PhD students in biomedical fields. Students who would like to continue with the MSc. study in Immunology are expected to pass both immunology courses: Immunology (MB150P14E) and Immunology - a systems biology view (MB151P103E).

The course evaluation is based on: 1/ a project on a selected topic (50%) - a disease report, experimental model - listed in the Moodle course. This shall comprise both reviews of primary papers, database search, and data analysis and visualization. Followed by oral presentation. 2/ a multiple-choice test (35%) having the database queries an integral part of the exam: a computer test having 10 multiple-choice questions (5 answers each) with 3-hour time limit. Evaluation: 3/ a Wikpedia article related to Systems immunology (15%) Classification:

There is no prerequisite for this course. However, it is beneficial to pass the basic course of Immunology (MB150P14E) during the winter semester and consider also a parallel practical course Genomické metody (MB151P102) in the summer semester (for Czech students only) or Methods of functional genomics (MB140P86) - in English - both in summer semester.
