This 100% online Postgraduate certificate will allow you to explore the transfer of maternal antibodies, the role of the placenta in fetal protection and the evolution of the neonatal immune system”

Fetal and Newborn Immunology is a crucial field that requires an understanding of the immunological mechanisms unique to these early stages of life.  Furthermore, it is essential for improving maternal and infant health care, preventing disease and promoting healthy development in infants. Therefore, it is recommended that health professionals are constantly updated in this important area of neonatal care. 

This is how this Postgraduate certificate was born, which will explore in depth the development of the immune system during gestation, from embryo implantation to delivery, understanding how it evolves and adapts to protect the fetus in an intrauterine environment.  In addition, the formation of the components of the fetal immune system will be analyzed, including the production of specialized cells and antibodies, which contribute to the defense of the fetus against potential pathogens.

The specific immunological mechanisms that come into play during the neonatal period, when the newborn faces new immunological challenges as it adapts to the extrauterine environment. This will include analyzing how the neonatal immune system responds to exposure to microorganisms and the formation of active immunity. 

Finally, the course will develop practitioners' skills in immunological assessment of the newborn, equipping them with the knowledge to evaluate neonatal immune function and recognize immunological deficiencies that require medical intervention.

Considering this, the program will be optimally adapted to the contemporary demands of online specialization, using the Relearning educational methodology to enhance students' effectiveness and autonomy. In fact, this modality will allow them to access the content from any place and at any time, offering flexibility and flexibility of access. Therefore, students will be free to manage their academic resources according to their individual schedules and needs,  which will enrich their educational experience.

Take advantage of this unique TECH opportunity! With this Postgraduate certificate you will delve into the complex mechanisms that regulate the immune response during the earliest stages of life”
