BIO 3590 Biology of Cancer
Tumorigenesis is a multistep process driven by genetic and epigenetic changes that occur over time. Although cancer is a heterogeneous disease, many human tumors exhibit similar acquired physiological features, defined as the "Hallmarks of Cancer." This course will cover the underlying molecular and cellular biology involved in carcinogenesis, tumor growth and metathesis. The implications of the biological findings on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment will be covered. Students will also learn about the latest concepts in cancer biology and cancer therapeutics.
