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. Students must earn at least aC- in all prerequisite BIO and CHE lectures and labs. Prerequisites: BIO-250/251 and BIO-260/261. Co-requisite BIO-355. WRITL, Fall semester.
