Viral Oncology: Understanding Cancer Viruses
Unmasking the viral culprits: Unveiling the link between viruses and cancer.
Early access to the e-LMS platform is included
About This Course
This program delves into the fascinating and evolving field of viral oncology. Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and case studies, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how viruses can hijack cellular processes and contribute to cancer initiation and progression.
Aim
To empower participants with a comprehensive understanding of cancer viruses, their role in tumorigenesis, and the emerging strategies for therapeutic intervention.
Program Objectives
- Explore the diverse range of viruses implicated in human cancers.
- Analyze the mechanisms by which viruses contribute to cancer development.
- Discuss the current methods for diagnosing and monitoring viral-associated cancers.
- Evaluate the potential of antiviral therapies and vaccines in cancer prevention and treatment.
- Explore the burgeoning field of oncolytic virotherapy and its applications.
- Identify the ethical considerations surrounding the use of viruses in cancer therapy.
