Track C
Immunotherapeutics and Therapeutic antibodies

Courses are taught by a multidisciplinary team of speakers (physicians, pharmacists, veterinarians and scientists) from the university François-Rabelais Tours , the CNRS and INRA as well as partners from the Labex Mabimprove.

Teaching mainly deals with the set up of therapeutic antibodies, their immunopharmacology and with immunotherapies. This track provides students with theoretical knowledge in infectious diseases, immunology and clinical development. Good laboratory practices, ethics and patent filing are also taught.
