She was a postdoctoral fellow of the Arthritis Foundation for 2 years in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco, Medical School, followed by 2 years as an NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Departments of Genetics and Medicine/Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She has received numerous teaching awards at Haverford College, as well as the American Association of Immunologist Distinguished Service Award for teaching and helping to develop their Introductory Course Curriculum. The Kuby Immunology authors have provided instructions and materials for a variety of activities they use in their own classrooms to engage students. A graduate of Bryn Mawr College, who majored in Biology at Haverford College, she attended a combined VMD/PhD (immunology) program at the University of Pennsylvania before doing her post-doctoral fellowship with Dr.

In the present chapter we are looking for giving an immunology background; in which we present an overview of the main components (organs, cells, molecules …) that belongs to the immune system with the functionalities of each one.

The only textbook written for undergraduates by teachers of the course, this bestseller presents the most current concepts in an experimental context, conveying the excitement of scientific discovery, and highlighting important advances while providing unsurpassed pedagogical support for the first-time learner. Then a few weeks before the final, once I had exhausted my flashcards and lecture notes, I opened to the first chapter. Together, Jennifer Punt and Judith Owen initiated the AAI Introductory Immunology Course, which is now offered on an annual basis.
