Course Goal / Objective
In this course, students understand the mechanism of the cancer cell's biological behavior, the receptors that affect these behaviors, the signals and how the transmission is done.
Course Content
The role of signal transduction in cancer cells at every stage from DNA repair to cell division, and targeting methods of signal transduction pathways in cancer treatments and their use in biotechnology.
Course Precondition
Basic knowledge of Molecular Biology and Genetics
Resources
Textbook of Cell Signaling in Cancer, Yazarlar: Roberts, Jacques Cell Signaling- Principles and Mechanisms. Yazarlar: Wandell Lim, Bruce Mayer, Tony Pawson Cell Signaling Biology – online tool http://www.cellsignallingbiology.co.uk/csb/
