15 credits The course Ecotoxicology is aiming to provide understanding and practical knowledge of the fate, uptake and effects of anthropogenic pollutants in the environment. We study and apply ecotoxicological theories, models, and common methods and approaches concerning: fate of pollutants in the environment using fugacity based multimedia partitioning models; uptake and accumulation using mode

15 credits Course description Why study immunology? Immunology is the study of the different biological structures and processes that together make up the immune system. The immune system plays a crucial role in our life by defending us from microorganisms and other parasites that might cause disease. In addition, the immune system provides protection against tumours. On the other hand, malfunctio

Initialt finansierades MKC av Cancerfonden och MFM av sjukvården i Malmö. Fram till 2005 hade vi möjlighet att tillhandahålla prover och datauttag utan kostnad. Idag måste dock vår verksamhet intäktsfinansieras. Vår största utgift är personalkostnader. Vi har en heltidsanställd datamanager och en heltidsanställd projektkoordinator. Vid stora uttag måste vi också ta hjälp från externt anställda BMA
