Courses on this page present teaching activities personally taught and supervised in molecular biology, immunology, pathology, oncology, and research methods at Djillali Liabes University, Sidi Bel Abbes, Algeria. They reflect a commitment to training bachelor’s and master’s students in the mechanisms of disease, experimental techniques, and academic skills essential for biomedical sciences and research careers.
Tutorials
Molecular biology of autoinflammation
Short course on the molecular mechanisms of autoinflammatory diseases, focusing on innate immunity, inflammasomes, cytokine signaling, and genetic mutations associated with chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation.
Signaling and regulation of genetic activity
Course on cell signaling pathways and transcriptional regulation, covering receptors, second messengers, transcription factors, epigenetic control, and dysregulation in cancer and other human pathologies.
Advanced course on molecular oncology, examining oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, signal transduction, tumor microenvironment, metastasis, and innovative targeted therapies in cancer research.
Course on gene therapy and cell-based therapies, covering vectors, genome editing (CRISPR), stem cells, CAR-T cells, clinical applications, and ethical and regulatory aspects of advanced therapies.
Cell Biology, Immunology and Pathologies
3rd-Year LMD Molecular Biology
Integrated course on cell biology and immunology, exploring cell structure, immune system function, inflammation, and the cellular and molecular basis of major human diseases and pathologies.
