Cancer Biology is an overview of the basic biological mechanisms that underlie the process of transformation: the path from a normal, healthy cell to a renegade cell that can divide uncontrollably and seed far-flung metastases.

A large portion of the course will be devoted to reading primary literature in cancer biology.
