BIO 390-02 - Readings in Biology

2 credits (Spring)
Cancer Biology. Cancer is a broad class of diseases with significant human health impacts. This course will explore a selection of the mechanisms by which genetic changes permit uncontrolled cell growth. We will examine how altered cell-cell interactions and physiology permit cancer cells to metastasize to multiple tissues. Additionally, we will discuss immunological defenses and modern treatment approaches that limit cancer cells’ growth and spread. This seminar-style course will emphasize reading and discussion of primary literature.

Prerequisite: BIO 252 . 
Instructor: Gregg-Jolly
