CB212 Course

Biology of the Cancer Cell: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Implications
Semester: Spring
Offered: 2027, every two years

Directed by Alex Toker, Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. This semester long course takes students  on a molecular approach journey to examine the basis of human cancer – from deep dive on genetic aberrations in a cancer cell, to signaling pathways, and big picture cellular and organismal perspectives on cancer. In addition, students participate in workshops where they work on developping their communication skills by writing a research proposal, and practicing giving feedback.
