ICMM928, the MSc neuroinflammatory and autoimmune disease module, focuses on the complex field of neuroinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. It highlights translational neuroscience as a critical bridge that moves laboratory discoveries into clinical settings to treat conditions like multiple sclerosis. Students in this course transition from general learners to specialised experts by exploring the pathology, epidemiology, and treatment of neurological disorders. The curriculum covers everything from animal models and biomarkers to the rigorous evaluation of clinical trials and immunotherapy. By the end of the module, participants are expected to interpret complex data, design sophisticated experiments, and effectively communicate scientific findings to professional audiences. The ultimate goal is to provide a deep understanding of the bidirectional communication between the nervous and immune systems.
