Basics Of Immunotherapy Car-T, Mabs, And New Modalities

What you'll learn
Understand the fundamental principles of immunotherapy and its role in modern medicine, including the mechanisms behind CAR-T cell therapy and mAbs.
Analyze the development, design, and clinical applications of CAR-T and mAb therapies in treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infectious disorders.
Evaluate the challenges, side effects, and strategies for improving efficacy and safety in immunotherapeutic approaches.
Explore emerging innovations such as bispecific antibodies, oncolytic viruses, nanotechnology-based delivery systems, and AI-assisted immunotherapy design.
Requirements
This course is designed for beginners, so no prior experience or advanced background in biology or medicine is required. A basic understanding of high-school level biology will be helpful but not essential. Learners only need curiosity and interest in biotechnology, immunology, or healthcare innovations. All key concepts: such as immune mechanisms, CAR-T therapy, and monoclonal antibodies will be explained clearly and progressively throughout the course. No special software or laboratory tools are needed; just a notebook and enthusiasm to explore how cutting-edge immunotherapies are transforming modern medicine.
Description
Immunotherapy is revolutionizing modern medicine, offering groundbreaking treatments for cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. This course, Basics of Immunotherapy: CAR-T and Monoclonal Antibodies, provides a comprehensive introduction to the science, mechanisms, and clinical applications of immune-based therapies. Students will explore the development and production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), understand the design and function of CAR-T cell therapy, and examine emerging modalities including checkpoint inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, and oncolytic viruses.Through detailed explanations and real-world case studies, the course highlights how immunotherapy is applied in oncology as well as beyond, including autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammation, and transplant medicine. Learners will gain insight into the immune system's fundamentals, tumor immunology, and the principles of immune modulation, providing a strong foundation for both beginners and aspiring professionals in biotechnology, medicine, and life sciences.The course also addresses practical considerations such as therapy safety, side effects, limitations, and the integration of immunotherapy with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and cutting-edge technologies like nanotechnology, genomics, and AI-driven design. By the end of the course, students will understand not only how current immunotherapies work but also the exciting innovations shaping the future of immune-based treatments.Whether you are a student, researcher, or healthcare professional, this course equips you with the knowledge to navigate the rapidly evolving field of immunotherapy and prepares you for further study or a career in biotech, clinical research, or pharmaceutical development.
This course is ideal for students, early-career researchers, and biotechnology enthusiasts who wish to understand how modern immunotherapies like CAR-T cells and monoclonal antibodies are revolutionizing disease treatment. It's also highly valuable for medical, pharmacy, and life sciences graduates looking to strengthen their foundation in immunotherapy and explore career opportunities in biotech and healthcare research. Educators, clinicians, and professionals seeking to stay updated with recent advances in cancer immunotherapy and emerging modalities will also find this course insightful and relevant.
