In the Molecular Biology of Cancer workshop, lessons on normal molecular and cellular biology will provide a foundation for discussion of how these normal cellular processes are distorted or disrupted to trigger the development of cancer and how modern medicine is using this information to generate a new generation of drugs. Examples of topics that are covered include gene mutation/DNA repair, cell death (apoptosis), angiogenesis, metastasis, cancer stem cells, and tumor immunology.
