About This Course
Advanced Immunology Techniques takes you from immunology concepts to the bench methods that generate the field’s data. You learn the workhorse techniques — flow cytometry and cell sorting, ELISA and multiplex assays, immune-cell isolation, and functional and cytotoxicity assays — how each works, what it measures and when to use it. The course emphasises the practical judgement that separates clean data from artefact: controls, panel design, and interpretation. Connecting technique to research question, it prepares you to design and understand immunology experiments. You finish able to reason about the right technique for an immunological question. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
