This course provides current knowledge of the biochemical and clinical aspects of human cancer. The course will focus on the importance of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and other topics such as tumor formation and metastasis, apoptosis, cancer epigenetics, signal transduction mechanisms, and drug resistance, drug development, and biochemical and clinical importance of tumor models. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): BMSC 230.3, BMSC 240.3 and CHEM 250.3 Note: Students with credit for BIOC 430.3, BIOC 830.3 or BMIS 830.3 will not receive credit for this course.
