-Infectious diseases (overview)
-Components of immune system (overview)
-Traditional methods in the diagnosis of infectious diseases (culture and microscope examination, antibody/antigen detection via immunoassay, nucleic acid-based amplification techniques)
-Pathogen-rapid molecular diagnostic (metabolomic approaches, microarray, next generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, T2 magnetic resonance, polymerase chain reaction electrospray ionization mass spectrometry)
-Representative diseases selected for diagnostic test (Tuberculosis, Malaria, HIV/Covid)
-Concepts of immuno-informatics (sequence retrieval and homology analyses, T and B-cell epitopes prediction, MHC binding epitopes predictions, conserved domain, mRNA secondary structure prediction, prediction of secondary and tertiary structure, evaluation of allergenicity and antigenicity sequences, prediction of protein solubility)
-Animal models as resources for studying infectious diseases (wild-type, immune compromised, xenograft model, genetically humanized, genetically diverse mice)
