COURSE CONTENTS / DESCRIPTION
It cannot be overstated that cancer is one of the
deadliest, most incapacitating diseases in human history
and the devastation caused by this disease can be seen
in the whole world. Thus, there is an urgent need to
develop manpower to fight against and treat this disease.
Undoubtedly, during the last decade, India has
experienced exponential increase of research centres,
pharmaceutical companies, as well as in the number of
devoted and talented scientists and medical doctors.
However, India still lags far behind other developed
nations in cancer research because of the lack of trained
scientists and personal specializing in the field of cancer
biology. The program will cover the major aspects of
cancer research such as lifestyle, risk factors,
predisposition syndromes, diagnosis and treatment. It will
also cover essential subject matter such as the molecular
pathways involved in cancer, drug discovery, preclinical
and clinical models, applications of bioinformatics and
recent advances in the field. This will attract and nurture
young scientists at the beginning of their academic
careers and will accelerate the growth of India’s
biomedical industry, especially in drug discovery and
diagnosis methods.
Thus this Short Term Course on “Recent Developments
In Cancer Research” will inspire the next generation of
highly skilled, motivated scientists to pursue careers in
biomedical research, focusing on the area of cancer
prevention and treatment.
