| Abstract | The course provides a platform for the investigation, presentation and discussion of a topic with relevance to the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Students work in small groups on a chosen topic and present their work on a one day symposium. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The main objectives of this course are: - students develop their scientific reflection (Critical Thinking) and working skills by working independently on a relevant pharmaceutical topic - students gain in-depth knowledge of the topic investigated - students train their scientific writing and presentation skills - students train their ability to plan a project and work in a team | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The Course Drug Seminar takes place during the first 7 weeks of the 1. Master semester. It is a compulsory course of the MSc Pharmacy curriculum and an elective course in the MSc PharmSciences. The course provides a platform for the investigation, presentation and discussion of a topic with relevance to the field of pharmaceutical sciences. During the course, students work in small teams on a topic of their choice and elaborate an oral presentation. Each team is tutored by a lecturer of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The work is mainly based on literature search/review, but may also involve conducting interviews or site visits, if appropriate. The final presentations of all groups will take place in the framework of a dedicated Symposium held in the middle of the semester. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Only for students of MSc Pharmacy and MSc Pharmaceutical Sciences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 535-0030-00L | Pharmaceutical Immunology II & Therapeutic Proteins Prerequisites: Either 535-0830-00L Pharmaceutical Immunology I or 551-0317-00L Immunology I must have been taken. | 3 credits | 3G | C. Halin Winter, D. Neri | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | In this course, various topics related to the development, GMP production and application of therapeutic proteins will be discussed. Furthermore, students will expand their training in pharmaceutical immunology and will be introduced to the basic concepts of pharmaceutical product quality management. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Students know and understand: - basic mechanisms and regulation of the immune response - the pathogenic mechanisms of the most important immune-mediated disorders - the concepts of vaccination and cancer immunotherapy - the most frequently used expression systems for the production of therapeutic proteins - the use of protein engineering tools for modifying different features of therapeutic proteins - the mechanism of action of selected therapeutic proteins and their application - basic concepts in the GMP production of therapeutic proteins | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course consists of two parts: In the first part, students will complete their training in Pharmaceutical Immunology. This part particularly focuses on the pathogenic mechanisms of immune-mediated diseases, vaccination and cancer immunotherapy. Deepened knowledge of immunology will be relevant for understanding the mechanism of action of many therapeutic proteins, as well as for understanding one major concern related to the use of protein-based drugs, namely, immunogenicity. The second part focuses on topics related to the development and application of therapeutic proteins, such as protein expression, protein engineering, reducing immunogenicity, and GMP production of therapeutic proteins. Furthermore, selected examples of approved therapeutic proteins will be discussed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Learning objective | Weekly seminar about cutting edge topics in immunology and infection biology. Internationally renowned experts present their current research followed by an open discussion. The aim of this course is to confront students with current research topics and with scientific presentation. The course offers the opportunity to gain in depth knowledge about diverse topics which are often only briefly touched in the concept courses and to engage in discussion with experts in the field. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Immunology and infection biology. The specific topics are variable and depend each semester on the list of invited experts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Current research data (often not yet published) are presented in this seminar series. There is no script and we are not allowed to record or distribute the contents of the seminars. Thus, the ability of students to extract the most relevant points of each seminar is promoted, which is an important skill for the future attendance of scientific meetings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | Often parts of the presented seminars have already been published by the respective speakers and the respective primary research can be retrieved from scientific journals. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
