This course offers an in-depth examination of the biochemical and clinical dimensions of human cancer, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, tumor formation, metastasis, apoptosis, signal transduction, and contemporary cancer treatment strategies. Designed exclusively for BMIS 830 students, "Advanced Topics in the Biochemistry of Cancer" aims to cultivate advanced critical thinking, analytical, and scientific communication skills. The course challenges students to engage deeply with a specific topic in cancer biochemistry, enabling them to synthesize and critically evaluate current research findings, identify gaps in existing knowledge, and propose innovative solutions to these challenges. This assignment is intended to prepare graduate students for high-level research and professional practice in the field of cancer biochemistry. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 1.5 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): BMSC 220.3 (Cell Biology) or permission of the course coordinator. Note: Students with credit for BIOC 830.3 or BMIS 430.3 will not receive credit for this course.
