Course Description
Understanding the molecular and cellular events involved in tumor formation, progression, and metastasis are crucial to the development of innovative therapies for individuals suffering from cancer. Basic research has provided much insight into these pathways through the use of biochemical, molecular, and genetic analyses in yeast, cell culture, mice and other model systems. In this course, we will explore the major discoveries in cancer biology, the laboratory tools and techniques used in cancer drug discovery, and the recent advances in cancer therapies with a focus on the primary scientific literature.
