DMMC COURSES & WORKSHOPS
CANCER
BIOLOGY TO CANCER MEDICINE
24 - 26 May 2006; 1345-1730 on Wed, 0900-1800 on Thu, 0900-1400
on Fri.
Venue: Durkan
Lecture Theatre, Institute of Molecular Medicine, TCD, St James's
Hospital (location)
Online
application is closed
Online application period: 19 Apr - 19 May 2006
(at 1200)
Application
for this course is open to researchers throughout Ireland.
This
DMMC course is designed to provide an overview of the main cellular
and molecular processes involved in cancer development and progression,
defining these processes in detail in a selected number of human
malignancies. It will show how an increasing knowledge of cancer
development and progression at the molecular level is providing
a conduit for the application of molecular medicine in cancer diagnostics
and cancer therapeutics.
Comprising
a series of lectures, round-table tutorials, specific disease focus
lectures and case studies, the course aims to make participants
aware not only of the underlying principles of cancer, but also
of the practicalities in translating this knowledge for clinical
benefit. Faculty for the course is drawn from both within and outside
the DMMC, bringing together a cadre of experts to provide state-of-the-art
knowledge and practical experiences in this important discipline.
