Cancer Biology Course

What will I learn?
You will build a thorough understanding of how normal cells transform into malignant (invasive, capable of metastasis) tumours, covering cell cycle dysregulation, oncogene activation, and tumour suppressor loss. You will explore the hallmarks of cancer, the tumour microenvironment, and the molecular basis of metastasis (dissemination of cancer cells from the primary tumour to distant sites). The course also covers cancer genomics, epigenetics, and mutational signatures used in clinical practice. You will examine how chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, and immunotherapy work at the molecular level, and why tumours develop resistance. By the end, you will have the scientific knowledge to critically evaluate cancer research and therapeutic strategies.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of my interest without needing to change platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.

I like the content and the way videos are presented and transcribed, which speeds up the process!

The platform is fast, simple to use. The diversity of content and complementary videos help a lot with learning.
