Start NowThe immune system is a complex collection of tissues and cells that work in unison to protect the human body from invading pathogens. Through its cellular components, the immune system deploys myriad strategies and mechanisms to reduce the spread of pathogens and their products.
In this course, the student will be introduced to the organization of the immune system, its strategies for dealing with pathogens, and the main cellular components of the innate and adaptive responses.
For optimal comprehension, the student must have a preliminary understanding of molecular and cellular biology—emphasizing gene expression, protein synthesis, signal molecules, and cellular receptors—and the histology of blood and lymphoid tissues.

Great communication skills, very didactic. Sometimes, when a person knows a lot, he or she do not have the ability to pass that information forward, but this professor does it really well.
Thank you for givine such a clear, clean and concise explanation. Looking forward to continue this course. Again, thank you.
One of the best lecture on the Immune system. I have struggled with this topic for so long but the lectures are awesome
Well structured, clear presented, presented manner of conveying mayerial, short
Great explanation, great examples and knowledgeable in subject area. Lecture is wonderful
I like very much the way the teacher expose the lecture! Concise and objective!
the lecture is easy to understand and the concepts are explained very well and in depth. i woul totally recommend this to any medical student :).
Very good lecture. I like all the lectures from this professor. He is always very clear and good at explaining things.
I honestly love this guy's enthusiasm and energy. He definitely comes of as knowledgeable and did a great job at providing an introduction to the immune system (source: M1 student who has already started but not finished studying immunology).
I really liked the way that he explains, he makes very easy the learning of this topic, I'd recommend this class to all my partners
This course helps me better understand the basic concept of immunology
Dr Peter Delves, you are a breath of fresh air in a subject i didn't appreciate nor enjoyed so much. Your lectures have given me a new understanding of Immunology and a strong intrest. Like an expert story teller i find myself enjoying your lectures. Thanks so much i will definitely recommend this to my classmates.
Having graduated in 1972 for medical school, I’ve had no official training in immunology. Of all the courses that have reviewed immunology raise is more complex a new topics than ever before.The lecture is engaging, confident, eligible, and he presents his topic well
Hope i will able to crack all the questions because the short videos are too good for understanding the basic concept.
Thank you for these awesome lectures. Everything is very clear!
Prof Peter Delves has made the subject of Immunology so easy and interesting..lot of respect and thanks to such a great teacher
Very well explained lectures! I finally beginn to understand immunology instead of just learning it by heart. Thank you very much!
Because the explanations are very clear and has a very good way of explaining things.
Love the entire lectures by Professor Peter Delves. Explain the concept in such a simple way. So easy to follow. Clearly explain the things that usually confuse the students. And the ppt slides are fantastic summary.
Great lecture. Very interesting way to present the concept. Thank you, Professor Delves!
Professor Delves gave these lectures in such a logic and clear way. Very easy to follow and understand the talk. Great lectures!
NP student. My school lacks decent lectures. Love this program.
Well organised. Interesting. Coherent. As a result, it becomes very easy to absorb the information without getting confused.
he brings immunology to life in a very clear way with regulated pace that facilitates understanding
As Usual superb , immunology is a tough subject, but you made it easy.
I have a basis of immunology from undergraduate but most was memorised but after watching just a few videos he has managed to form links in my knowledge. I am truly satisfied with such a clear explanation. Thank you.
Was very clear and Know I understand complete this sophisticated topics
Like it?.. no i love it. he is by far of all, quite knowledgeable and his delivery is near perfect.
concise. organized. comprehensive. enunciates well. paced. lecture well coordinated withnslides
I enjoyed many other lecture series here on Lecturio, but thus far, immunology is my favourite and this is purely due to Dr. Delves. Following Immunology studies in medical school, I greatly tested it, but after listening to only a few of his lectures, I've not only learned to love immunology, but I'm excited to dive into it further. Thank you.
Very clear lectures that flow seamlessly with easy to remember high yield points. Very easy to follow.
Contains all the necessary introductory information about Immune System and Organs
My last block contained a lot of immunology, and I did very poorly on the exam. I had an incredibly difficult time teasing out the most important information and organizing the immune response in a logical fashion. All the terms seemed jumbled in my head. This block is infectious disease, and requires building on the foundation of immunology--so I need to rebuild my foudation :p After watched just 3-4 of the Lecturio videos, I immensely regret not using it earlier. Thank you Dr. Delves, for being clear and logical it what is a very difficult and complex subject!
- Comments: please give examples for PRR & PAMPs and would have been useful if explained role of MHCI & II and CD4, Antigen/antibody in more detail. Thanks
Thank you. Much grateful for your efforts to help us struggling medical students develop a strong foundation in the subject :)
Very well organized material, will definitely follow up on this lecture!
Dr. Delves is very clear in his explanations of the immune system and is able to distill the complex nature of the immune system into a digestible series of lectures for students just beginning their understanding of the immune system.
good way to express ideas, easy to follow, good english, that´s not my native language but i understood everything he said :)
The lecturers are well illustration and presented. General speaking the presentations are perfect
Its an excelent course, easy to understad. He explains very good. The comparative tables are excellent
For many years, I have read lots of textbooks and lots of lecture slides to learn immunology but it was always confusing and none of them knows how to begin immunology. The immune system is a kind of spider web which has no begin and no end. On the other hand, Dr Delves is a very smart academician who found a way how to chance a spider web into a linear and understandable structure. If you need to learn immunology, don't waste your time beginning with memorizing every immune cell, every receptor. Instead, just leave yourself into the arms of Lecturio by Prof Peter Delves, Lecturio definitely takes you to your goals for sure if your goal related to immunology.
We need a cloned one or twin of Prof Delves for Istanbul Technical University. I began to learn immunology with this lesson and just with 8 days of his video lessons I succeed to pass molecular immunology that's the lesson I hadn't passed for many years. I am grateful for you Dr Delves. The chaotic structure of immunology gets easy by your lessons. Not only your lessons made me be graduated from my undergraduate education but also you changed my mind about immunology. I like it very much after your lessons and the beginning of the journey was this lesson.
Very clear and well explained. Mr. Delves' enthusiasm makes it all better. Thank you!
Great lectures from a great teacher for building a good foundation of knowledge.
The lecture is very good for introduction about immune system I like this guy he explain very well and it's easy to understand
really awesome lectures, more updated version, very well explained thank you Dr.D
I enjoyed the lecturer's energy, the overall organization of the video topics, and length of each video.
Liked the content and the teacher makes it so easy and understandable, also the app is great, thank you guys.
It’s very easy to understand, I’ve always struggled with immune system, but the lectures helped me a lot
Awesome personality and attitude. His enthusiasm is gripping and keeps me interested!
Everything is now easier to understand, it has a great way to explain the whole thing
Again, another lecturer who appears very much in the know regarding their subject area; appropriate level of detail so far and I am enjoying it.
This lecturer is very good; delivers at a great pace and you can tell he is very experienced and knows his stuff. No fluffing or stumbling over his words- goes into good detail.
Great introduction Perfect presentation but I think it would be better if you put more details in the picture of cells thank you
It is easy to follow, and I feel that the pictures are great. Perfect for me to get a good understanding :)
very good introductory lecture to this topic and the questions are helpful also
really good overview. helped me a lot to get the concept of the immune system,
Great work, easy and to the point No fuss, No Muss
I am current;y taking Immunology and it was like a foreign language until I started watching these videos I am understanding the information!!!
Very helpful, sir has done a great job. Thanks a lot, I have only begun watching it and I feel that I will be helped a lot.
clear and understandable. covered the main aspects of immunology with simple words and attractive pictures. well done!
Absolutely AMAZING lecturer!! I was able to understand all the basics of immunology with just one watch! Great enthusiasm and clear explanation. Thank you Dr Peter Delves.
Helped me a lot with my Problem Based Learning Case which is on the immune system. His presentation is organised and fluent
Dr. Delves was fantastic in his presentation, very proficient in the subject matter and a master of the queens language in a tone that kept me awake all through the lecture.
I like his voice and his explanation of something very complex in an easy way for everybody to absorb the knowledge. He is a very professional lecturer!
I like the calm tone of the instructor. The information is presented in such a way that is it easy to understand. It is taught in small chunks and then the chunks are gently stacked on each other until you see the entire picture. Great presentation. Cleverly taught.
Good clear explanations. Did a good job distinguishing terminology (e.g. innate vs. adaptive, dendritic cells vs. follicular dendritic cells) and presenting the material in a clear manner highlighting key points
Professor Dr. Delves made the classes enjoyable because he made everything simple to understand. Immunology in my opinion is extremely intricate, if you lose focus you get lost. Dr. Selves went exactly to the point with what was important. The slides and topic reviews offered were great accompaniments to the lectures.
no jargons were used. easy to understand and comprehend. Good accent and Highly professional way of conveying the information
Well articulated , good illustration with example. The follow of the lecture is good. Slide presentation perfect and easy to follow through. Thank you.
Easy to follow and provides a great context to build from.
Excellent presentation!! However, a minute or two filling in with a little more details would have been a tremendous completion of concepts.
I really liked this course, it was easy and interactive even tough english isn't my natal language
Really liked it. Very clear in concept and easy to understand.
it is made simple, clear and easy to understand regardless the details need to be learned. this is the correct pedagogic way to teach and to learn. This is one of the things that shows that the teacher is a PhD. I wish those lectures were translated in french and that all medical students in my university benefit from it and also every medical student all over the world. Thanks for teaching us and for spreading the knowledge and make things easy for us.
I love everything about it. Not only knowledgeable but a gifted speaker
It makes it way easier to understand, I hope he'll guide me though my exam
Very informative and pretty easy to understand. Recommended for people who has heard about the immune system before as it may be hard for beginners to understand.
I liked the way the lecture was build up. A nice structure, and explained in such a way it makes it easy to understand.
Fantastic, super simple to follow, the ppt slides are gold for a quick review
it is very good but i need more details which is not mentioned on the videos
Immunology was one subject that I have hated since the very beginning I started studying it. I did understand what the immune system does but I really couldn't understand how everything was happening. After many unsuccessful attempts to understand it on my own I turned to these lectures and now I understand the core material. Thank you very much!
Not only was the information vast, but it was concise enough to understand and follow along with. Peter Delves highlights the important parts that are very beneficial. Thanks.
i love how he explains everything in detail and also he tells with some intonation so I could easily remember what he has just explained to me
Nothing more i can say than excellent presentations. Every thing is just perfect.
Considering this is a generic overview of the immune system its nice and condensed. It doesn't bite off more than you can chew in the first 45 minutes like a medical school overview can. Some clinical touchstones could round out the material and make it great.
He is a super lecturer; the content, however, could be more challenging and in depth. We need more direct applications clinically described.
Professor Delves has done a great job with this course. I am currently in medical school and while my Immunology professor is very intelligent she is very unorganized and gives poor explanations. This course is the perfect supplement.
Course was great, however I would like to see some more info or more questions and maybe get in a little more detail at the cellular level.
Excellent ,concise and simple explanations. Love the mini lecture style
