MNT 552: Advanced Topic in Cancer Biology and Theranostics

Credits 3
The course is primarily based on most recent publications in the field of cancer research from top journals (Nature Reviews Cancer, Cancer Cell, Cancer Discovery etc.). A flexible course structure is designed to keep up with the accelerating rate of discovery in the area of translational cancer research and with the current shift to knowledge-guided targeted therapies based on precision medicine and theranostic concepts. The course will focus on high quality publications that provide in-depth analysis of deregulated signaling mechanisms manifested as potential drivers for cancer and discuss novel strategies for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Special emphasis will be made on innovative diagnostic and treatment approaches that utilize effective nanotherapeutic and nanodiagnostic modalities.
