Seminars on novel therapeutic targets in oncology

2nd year - 2 credits

Learning Objectives

At the end of the course, PhD students will have acquired the main notions relating to the diagnostic and treatment techniques used in the treatment of sarcomas, as well as a vision of the open problems and challenges that the treatment of rare tumors poses in the surgical, diagnostic, oncological and research fields.

This course focuses on acquiring key concepts such as bypass pathways, feedback loops and their interaction with steroid hormones.  It will cover the field of cell signalling and will help the students to develop a deep understanding of biological complexities
