Course Goal / Objective
Addressing cancer biology information with a Translational Medicine perspective and developing new ideas
Course Content
Students learn the relationship of cancer with the microenvironment, escape mechanisms from the immune system and hypoxic conditions, the behavior of cancer stem cells, and comprehend the mechanisms of resistance to treatment. By examining the current literature in cancer biology, he/she understands how the effects of a potential drug molecule that can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer are examined and prepares a project outline by developing a research question.
Course Precondition
Basic knowledge of human anatomy and molecular biology
Resources
Scopus and WOS articles
Notes
Translational Medicine Journals
