C) Additional Course Offerings

Various informative immunological courses and lectures offered by other local research institutes are summarized in the section C) Additional Course Offerings. In accordance to the topic of their theses, IMMUCO students can choose from the following list.

Beside the SFB 633 and the Integrated Research Training Group IMMUCO a variety of other institutes and research groups focussed on immunology characterize the scientific environment in Berlin. Seminars of the undefinedResearch Center ImmunoSciences (RCIS) and the undefinedSFB 650 provide additional information about immunological topics in general. Students interested in infection biology can attend the seminar series of the undefinedCenter of Infection Biology and Immunity (ZIBI) or the undefinedResearch School for Infectious Diseases and Immunology (IMPRS-IDI). The undefinedSFB/TR 43 focuses on neuroimmunology and provides an own seminar. The field tumorimmunology is represented by the undefinedKFO 105 and the undefinedSFB/TR 36.
