Hello!

I am Professor Jones. I am the Director of Biology here at Carolina University. I completed my B.S. at Western Carolina University (2018) and will be defending my Ph.D. work soon from East Carolina University. 

I love all things biology and history. Science can be overwhelming at times. My job is to make science fun and digestible for all. I am here to serve and mentor the next generation of scientists.

Please feel free to email/call if you need anything. Take advantage of my office hours and drop in (in-person or virtually) if you need any assistance.  

Here's to an amazing semester!

Description

The course is an in depth study of the immune system responses to infectious agents at the molecular, cellular and genetic levels. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of immunology: innate and adaptive (humoral and cellular) immunity; interactions with antigens; lymphocyte activation; ontogeny and phylogeny. The applied aspect of the course will cover vaccines, allergy and other hypersensitivities, autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency and tumor immunology. (Prerequisite: One undergraduate course in Biology, Chemistry, or Microbiology)
