A three-day course to learn how to explore the biology of cancer with confidence.
This course offers a simplified, yet a scientifically rigorous and comprehensive introduction to cancer. It explains the molecular biology of healthy, dysplastic and neoplastic cells, what tumors are made off and explores in detail all recognized cancer hallmarks.
It also explains various targeted and non-targeted therapeutic strategies from the point of view of biology and biotech. A special emphasis is made on immunotherapies, in particular checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies.
Additionally, the course reviews all the key techniques in research that enable translational oncology and drive the fundamental changes taking place in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
By participating in this course, you will be able to draw the big picture of oncology and see how specific expert issues connect to the whole. Ultimately, this course creates a common understanding of oncology that can be shared by all stakeholders, scientists and non-scientists, professionals and lay people.
Leveraging on our 10 year-long experience in rapid life science education aimed at busy professionals, we transform scientific content of any complexity into science stories that people understand and embrace.
Our courses act as a “driving school” with engaging and kind “driving” instructors. By joining this course, expect an intensive and fun learning journey that makes the invisible world of disease mechanisms, drug modes of actions and molecular diagnostics visible and understandable!
Pharma and healthcare professionals active in the field of oncology, medical doctors (non-oncologists) ,and biologists wishing to update their knowledge, nurses, patients and patient advocates interested in understanding this disease area and anyone else with a strong interest in cancer.
