7800  Cancer Biology (1.5) Prerequisite: First year graduate courses in: Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and Genetics.
   The aim of the course is to discuss our current understanding of the molecular and cellular biology of cancer and how this knowledge relates to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. Concepts will be illustrated with examples taken from well-studied experimental systems. Mechanistic details will be provided for all examples, but they will be chosen to illustrate concepts and are not intended to be exhaustive. Cancer as an evolutionary process will be stressed and many of the concepts developed in the course will be related to this overarching principle.
