BIOL 236 - Biology of Cancer

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the cause of one in eight deaths around the world, and kills an even greater proportion of Americans. Over the past thirty years, great strides have been made in understanding the biological and environmental causes of cancer; we have also made stunning progress in the treatment of some cancers. This class will address the cellular, genetic and biochemical basis of cancer, as well as delve into current modes of treatment. In addition to lectures and primary literature discussion, students will develop an essay and present a poster on a cancer-related topic, based on a review of primary literature.

Prerequisites: BIOL 118 .
