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.

Program Structure

Week 1: Introduction to Viral Oncology

  • Overview of oncogenic viruses and mechanisms of transformation

  • Key cancer-associated viruses: HPV, EBV, HBV, HCV, HTLV, KSHV

  • Molecular basis of viral integration and genome instability

  • Epidemiology and burden of virus-induced cancers

Week 2: Host–Virus Interactions and Oncogenesis

  • Immune evasion, chronic inflammation, and tumor promotion

  • Viral oncoproteins and disruption of tumor suppressors

  • Cell signaling pathways hijacked by viruses

  • Co-factors influencing viral carcinogenesis (co-infection, lifestyle, genetics)

Week 3: Diagnostics and Molecular Detection Technologies

  • PCR, RT-PCR, ELISA, and in situ hybridization in viral cancer diagnostics

  • Next-gen sequencing (NGS) and viral genome analysis

  • Biomarker discovery and validation in virally driven cancers

  • AI-powered image analysis and digital pathology in viral oncology

Week 4: Therapeutic and Preventive Strategies

  • Antiviral therapies and targeted cancer treatments

  • Vaccination and prophylaxis (e.g., HPV, HBV vaccines)

  • Immunotherapy and virus-specific T-cell responses

  • Future frontiers: CRISPR, oncolytic virotherapy, and precision oncology

Who Should Enrol?
