BIO 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Cell and Molecular Biology of Cancer w/lab

4 credits (Spring)
This course will explore the cell and molecular biology of the many diseases called cancer. We will use knowledge acquired in second year biology and chemistry courses as a basis to guide our study of how aberrant regulation of the internal molecular machinery of cells can drive cancerous phenotypes. We will pay attention to how cell signaling networks, oncogenes and tumor suppressors, stem cell niches, genomic alterations play a role in carcinogenesis. Labs and Independent projects.
