La glande mammaire et sa réponse à l’infection from edX

Des experts de plus de 20 pays ont décidé de travailler ensemble pour créer cette série de 3 MOOCs, destinés aux étudiants aux cycles supérieurs, pour leur présenter les connaissances dont ils ou elles auront besoin pour initier leur programme de recherche. Évidemment, ces MOOCs pourraient aussi être d’un grand intérêt pour des vétérinaires, des enseignants, ou toute autre personne avec un certain bagage scientifique, intéressée par la mammite.

Ce premier MOOC, d'une durée de 15 heures, intitulé : « La glande mammaire et sa réponse à l’infection » couvre les connaissances de base sur l’anatomie et la physiologie de la glande mammaire, la réponse immunitaire, le rôle de la génétique, et la pathophysiologie, ou, si vous préférez, sur les changements se produisant dans le tissu mammaire suite à une infection.

Cette série se poursuivra bientôt avec deux autres MOOCs qui porteront sur les concepts épidémiologiques et les méthodes diagnostiques, ainsi que sur le contrôle de la mammite.

Nous espérons que cette série répondra à toutes vos questions et vous sera utile sur le plan professionnel. Bienvenue dans ce premier MOOC sur « la glande mammaire et sa réponse aux infections » !
