About this Unit
This unit aims to provide students with an understanding of structure and function of immune system and particularly highlights common and unique systems that exist across kingdoms and phyla. There is a focus on the organs and cells of the human immune system and peculiarities associated with the immune systems of marsupials due to their early developmental stage at birth will be examined. The students will also develop laboratory skills that involve some immunological principles, investigative skills leading to understanding the knowledge base, and self learning at a sophisticated level and enhance their science communication skills.
