Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Understand the underlying molecular causes of cancer and tumor biology, with focus on several key topics (including cancer hallmarks, oncogenes/tumor suppressor genes, cell death, genomes instability, cancer stem cells, invasion/metastasis, epigenetics, immunotherapy and molecular targeted drug development
2. Understand how these changes may be applied in cancer research
3. Understand the strengths and challenges in translational cancer research
4. Read, understand, present and discuss a scientific publication
5. Write and present a short project proposal on a translational cancer research project
Content
With the designation “The Hallmarks of Cancer”, the course in Tumor Biology provides a broad coverage of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis, and cancer progression and how these can be exploited for cancer treatment. On a research-based background, this two-week course addresses several aspects of these widely accepted hallmarks covered by active researchers in the field. In addition, various research strategies and technical issues will be presented, along with examples from active research projects. Finally, emphasis will be given to the connection between molecular cancer research and novel developments within targeted cancer therapy and personalized medicine.
Participants
PhD students that work on a cancer related PhD project. We have focus on translational aspect, so participant from all research directions within cancer research are welcome (basic research, applied research and clinical cancer research etc.). No specific qualifications are required.
Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:
Clinical Cancer Research
Molecular Mechanisms of Disease
Cellular and Genetic Medicine
Language
English
Form
Lectures, cases, journal clubs and short project proposal
