1. Dr. Aneela javed IMMUNOPATHOLOGY AND IMMUNOTHERAPY (BPH-375) Credit Hrs 3(2-1)

2. mmunopathology is a branch of medicine that deals with immune responses associated with disease. It includes the study of the pathology of an organism, organ system, or disease with respect to the immune system, immunity, and immune responses. IMMUNOPATHOLOGY IMMUNOTHERAPY the prevention or treatment of disease with substances that stimulate the immune response.

3. Students will also learn about the possible ways intervening with such process by modulating the immune system i.e. by inducing, suppressing or enhancing the immune system.
