      1. Understand the fundamentals of the immune system: Identify the components and mechanisms of innate and adaptive immune responses.

      2. Differentiate between the various types of antibodies: Study their structure, properties, and roles in immune defense.

      3. Acquire skills in immunological diagnostic techniques: Including ELISA, RIA, and antigen-antibody interactions.

      4. Apply immunological concepts in the food industry: For detecting biological contaminants and assessing food safety through immune-based methods.

      5. Analyze the relationship between nutrition and immunity: Understand how certain dietary components (e.g., vitamins, probiotics) affect immune function.

      6. Develop critical thinking and practical skills: Through case studies and hands-on use of modern diagnostic tools.

      7. Raise awareness of microbial food risks: And the immune system’s role in protecting against them.
