During the course students will work under the supervision of individual group members on current research projects, thereby gaining a detailed insight into the daily research work in the particular field of immunology. The scientific data that is aquired during the course is presented in short talk form at the end of the course. Furthermore regular attendance and active engagement in the theoretical seminars as well as paper seminars and discussions is obligatory for the participants.
