Mastering Cancer Biology - A Comprehensive Course

We'll focus on Cancer Biology, specifically the hallmarks and the treatments under development to address each

What you'll learn

Synthesize Information from Diverse Sources to Differentiate Different Cancer Pathogenesis Pathways

Identify the Core Hallmarks and Forces of Cancer Progression and Metastasis

Differentiate Recent Cancer Biology Research and Therapies

Develop skills in data interpretation, critical thinking, community, and accountability through in-class/lab learning

Requirements

Introductory Biology I & II, Genetics

Description

This course will allow you to learn classical and modern Cancer Biology through multidisciplinary perspectives. You’ll explore tumor treatment history, genetics, metabolism, plasticity, evolution, cellular dynamics, and therapeutic futures where we can fight all of these forces. We’ll be able to explore a myriad of interdisciplinary topics because Cancer is one of the most interconnected sub-disciplines as well. Special emphasis will be placed on principles that carry real-life and/or medical relevance. This was is designed to be comprehensive, serving as an excellent resource for undergraduates, medical post-graduates building more knowledge in preparation for key courses and clinical rotations, and Biology experts seeking to grow their expanse.Your purchase includes 16+ hours of Comprehensive video lectures, 10 final exam questions, and all PDF key info slides.Life is a special phenomenon, possibly unique to this single planet in a massive universe. The emergence of life, consciousness, and creativity from non-living matter is one of the most important processes to ever occur, and the ability to pass on similar (but varied) instructions to offspring allows this. The interactions within and between living organisms gives us an understanding beyond ourselves and how we can apply our unique gift as humans to do the most good. Our future needs leaders that understand Disease and Biology for this to take place. This class seeks to take you through and then beyond the books to explore what about life, humanity, and everything in between makes this world special, granting specific attention to the dark forces carried inside each of us.
