Presentación

This postgraduate degree will equip you with the knowledge to make a difference in the understanding and treatment of cancer. You will study the mechanistic nature of cancer biology and apply that knowledge to the analysis of risk, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. Building on a solid foundation of basic cancer cell biology, we will consider the design of treatment modalities and prevention strategies, mechanisms of action of anti-cancer drugs, therapy resistance and biomarker discovery. A key component of the course is a five to six month research project, which will give you the opportunity to study one of these areas in much greater depth.
