Course Description

This course will explore a selection of the mechanisms by which genetic changes permit uncontrolled cell growth in cancerous cells. 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. Prerequisites: BIO-250/251 and BIO-260/261. Co-requisite BIO-355.
