Programme aims

We will lead you through the molecular and cellular hallmarks of cancer biology, including genetic instability, cancer growth and invasion, tumour-stroma interactions, immune response to cancer, cancer metabolism, and cancer stem cells, and explain how this knowledge is being used in our fight against cancer.

You will experience how to plan and write a project proposal and report, and how to research, evaluate, and critically discuss scientific data and present these to a wider audience. A 14-week long research project will finally allow you to gain in-depth knowledge in a cancer-related area of your interest. This programme will therefore give you an excellent foundation for your future career in cancer science.
