DESCRIPTION
This course will explore recent advances in
immunobiology from the cell biology of antigen presentation
to the induction of inflammatory responses. The topics to be
covered are listed below for each of the faculty. The faculty
has been drawn from experts in their respective fields.
Gurus will initiate discussion after each presentation and
attempt to draw the audience into a dialog with the speaker.
Faculty members have been asked to remain for several
days surrounding their lectures. This is an intense course
for serious students of immunology. It is directed toward
graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, investigators new to
the field of immunology, industry scientists, and clinicians
with an interest in research.

INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
This is not a survey course. Athough it is open to
anyone who wishes to expand his or her knowledge of
immunology, attendance is limited to 150. Review materials
and references will be provided. The registration fees are:
$150 Graduate Students (must have letter of certification
from advisor); $175 Postdoctoral (must have letter of
certification from advisor); $250 Regular; and $350 Industry.
Room and board at the University of California, Berkeley will
be approximately $400 per person for the week of the
course. All fees will be due no later than June 1, 1995.
Dormitory space will be allocated as per receipt of your
registration, so early registration is urged.
The AAI Course in Advanced Immunology has applied
for certification for CME Category 1 credit on an hour-for-
hour basis for up to 48 credit hours. CME forms, which must
be completed and returned for credit, will be available in the
office of the American Association of Immunologists and at
the Course. There is a $25 processing fee, payable upon
submission of the application. For the purposes of providing
Continuing Medical Education Credits, this course is jointly
sponsored by The Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology, and the American Association of
Immunologists.
The course venue is the Clark Kerr Campus at the
University of California, Berkeley. It is in close proximity to
the main UCB campus and the town of Berkeley. The
campus itself offers a number of interesting museums and
exhibits. In addition, there is ready access to San Francisco
with all of its charm and history. The course is scheduled to
take place the week before the International Congress of
Immunology in San Francisco. Students can take
advantage of the proximity of the course to also attend the
Congress.
The Course attracts graduate students, post-doctoral
fellows, clinical fellows, industrial researchers and those
who are interested in a refresher course in immunology.
Berkeley is easily accessible from either the Oakland or
San Francisco International Airports. There will be shuttles
provided to the campus.
Thursday, July 20, afternoon and evening will be free
time. Excursions planned may include a boat trip around
the bay or an afternoon/ evening of wine tasting and dinner
in the wine country.
For more information contact Ms. Linda Carlson at the address
below.
To apply for the Course, please submit a letter
summarizing your background in immunology and your
interest in attending, a list of your current research/teaching
activities and a brief C.V. Please submit the application no
later than May 1, 1995.
