PPT-CBIO243: Principles of Cancer Systems Biology

Sylvia Plevritis PhD Course Director Melissa Ko Teaching Assistant Fuad Nijim CCSB Program Manager March 31 2014 Goals of CBIO243 Introduce major principles of cancer systems biology that integrate experimental and computational biology. Each year more people die of lung cancer than of colon breast and prostate canc ers combined Most lung cancers could be prevented because they are related to smoking or secondhand smoke or less often to exposure to radon or other environmental facto April 18, 2012.
