9 courses with the subject CBIO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CBIO 500SCore Cancer Topics2.0
The overall goal of Cancer Tropics is to provide the student with exposure to cancer topics as they relate to topics covered in the core curriculum. In addition, students will get exposure to cancer-related topics not covered in other required courses.
This course will be an advanced-level comprehensive survey of infectious agents and inflammatory signals that have been linked to the development of various cancers. The molecular mechanisms that underlie viral, bacterial, and parasite associated human cancers as well as inflammation-mediated cell transformation mechanisms will be the focus of lectures and discussions. Sessions will consist of lectures and discussions of assigned reading.
The overall goal of the cancer journal club is to provide the student with exposure to primary literature of latest high impact research related to cancer research.
First rotation. Guided research is conducted on a part-time basis for 8-10 week period. Student will choose from a list of labs conducting cancer related research; the focus will be on acquisition of specific laboratory/molecular biology skills in cancer-related research. Rotations are generally conducted during fall, spring or summer of the first year. A written research report is required at the end of each rotation.
Second rotation. Guided research is conducted on a part-time basis for 8-10 week period. Student will choose from a list of labs conducting cancer related research; the focus will be on acquisition of specific laboratory/molecular biology skills in cancer-related research. Rotations are generally conducted during fall, spring or summer of the first year. A written research report is required at the end of each rotation.
Research toward the fulfillment of the masters thesis. Process is monitored by the student’s advisor and department, advisory committee or thesis committee.
In this advanced course, students will learn about biomarkers and therapies for human cancers. A topic by topic analysis of key developments and approaches in biomarker discovery and validation along with cancer therapy are presented, with inclusion of pharmacologic, regulatory and basic science perspectives.
This upper level graduate course is a team-taught lecture-based course on the biology of cancer including: transformation, oncogenes and suppressor genes, cell cycle, DNA damage/repair, cell signaling, oncogenesis, metastasis, and cancer therapies. Faculty from Fox Chase Cancer Center and the Wistar Institute will participate in the teaching. The purpose of the course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles of cancer biology. It has been designed to introduce students to the advanced concepts of cancer biology and latest conceptual, technical and therapeutic advances. The emphasis in this course is to convey the history and fundamentals of the topics to prepare students for CBIO 512S. This course is intended for second year graduate students interested in basic cancer research.
The goal of this course is to provide an in-depth understanding of current cancer biology research. This course is designed to introduce students to the advanced concepts of cancer biology and latest conceptual, technical and therapeutic advances. Students will become familiar with the latest research in many topics related to cancer biology, including cancer stem cells, cancer metabolism and cancer microenvironment, as well as with the basic cancer bioinformatics tools. Students will get first-hand experience in hypothesis development based on current cancer research findings and propose aims to test hypothesis. This course is intended for 2nd year graduate students. CBIO 510S is a prerequisite since a basic understanding of cancer biology will be needed. The prerequisite can be waived by Course Director.
