The intercalated Pathology route focusses on infection, immunity and cancer biology. You will study in depth at the molecular and cellular level the mechanisms of how microbes cause disease and how our immune system protects us against these infections.
You will also study how our immune system can attack ourselves (auto-immunity) and how our own cells get dysregulated and cause cancers. You will also study how we can combat these diseases by modulating/helping our immune system.
