Course Goal / Objective
All students who take the course should acquire basic information about the molecular metabolism of cancer, learn the biotechnological uses of this information and follow the researches on this subject.
Course Content
Definitions related to cancer metabolism, complex structure of cancer cell, energy types, mitochondrial mutations, autophagy, microenvironment and the effect of pH on metabolism, hypoxic adaptation mechanisms, enzymes involved in metabolism and various energy pathways, current use and targeting of metabolism in cancer diagnosis treatment. What can be done, article review and presentation.
Course Precondition
To be a graduate of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics or to be successful by taking a Molecular Biology course at the M.L. and DR course stage (before taking this course).
