| Mode of Delivery: | Face to face |
| Course Coordinator : | Assist. Prof. DİLEK ÇEVİK |
| Course Objectives: | The course will provide the student with a comprehensive insight into the molecular biology and genetics of cancer with an awareness of the complexity of cancer biology. Lectures will primarily focus on the role of growth factors, oncogenes, tumor suppressor and cell stress mechanisms such as apoptosis, senescence, and autophagy. The fundamental principles behind cancer diagnosis, prevention, and targeted molecular therapy will also be discussed. Recent articles regarding cancer will be studied and students will present a subject of interest regarding cancer. |
