The strategies available for developing a vaccine. 4. Discuss the prospects for developing a vaccine against certain infectious diseases.
I have extensive biomedical expertise and background, and I have worked with antibodies for many years.
Homework Offered
This class comes with an in-class assignment, which includes the participant's thoughts regarding certain vaccine-related questions.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Each student will be assessed based on the following criteria: 1. The degree of engagement and participation, whether assignment and activities expected were produced and submitted on time. 2.
