The Molecular Basis of Cancer program provides students with in-depth understanding of academic and practical knowledge in basic and translational cancer research, with emphasis in molecular targets and therapeutics. This program is designed to help students establish or advance their career within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. A specialized focus of the program is on research and development relevant to new diagnostics, therapeutics, and treatment of cancers of various etiologies. Topics covered include therapeutic and target identification, drug discovery and development, mechanisms of tumor growth and metastasis, and the processes by which tumors evade therapeutic interventions during treatment. All completed courses in the certificate program can be applied toward the MS degree.
