About the course
The course highlights how cell communication is altered during the generation of malignant tumours. Emphasis is given to cell biological mechanisms that control genetic stability, gene expression, proliferation and survival, invasiveness and interactions between tumour cells and the microenvironment. Furthermore, specific examples of different tumour types are discussed.
The course utilises current research problems to illustrate different cell biology-related basic phenomena and their applications within tumour biology. Topics that are in focus are, among others, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation; signal transduction; DNA damage; viral infections and cancer stem cells. The course also gives insight into current research activity and methodology within the field of tumour biology
