Cancers are often defined as an uncontrolled growth of cells. In reality, cancers are complex diseases that show a wide range of changes in cellular behavior that impacts the total health of the individual with cancer. This course will exams the genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of the transformation of normal cells into malignant cancer cells. Through this study, students will gain a better understanding of many essential cellular properties from the cell signaling to the cell cycle. As part of the course students, working in groups, investigate a specific cancer and its treatment. As part of this project, students will produce and present a poster on the chosen disease. Prereq: BI-102 or BI-106.
