What you'll study
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding cancer biology is vital to basic and translational research for enhancing human health and well-being. This Summer Course will include sessions on cancer metabolism and immunotherapy, epigenetics, gene editing in cancer, genomic instability, and tumour microenvironment. The Course provides unique opportunities for junior scientists to learn with leading and experienced scientists directly and get involved in thought-provoking discussions.
Poster and oral presentations will be arranged for participants to introduce and discuss their research projects. These experiences will enable participants to develop new insights and collaboration opportunities for their future research work. Besides, casual interaction and social activities during the programme period will also facilitate friendship and network building among the participants.
