Section Title:
Sci/Bus of Cancer Therapy
Section Info:
The Science and Business of Cancer Therapies. Understanding and treating cancer is clearly a Grand Challenge, and fits appropriately within the Health and Wellness pathway. The objective of the course is to gain a basic understanding of various aspects of cancer, especially the latest generation of therapies known as immunotherapies. In addition to the science associated with these developments, the course will be truly interdisciplinary in that it will cover other topics that are intertwined with the science: 1) the importance of business in driving improvements in cancer therapies, 2) the role of the government in sponsoring efforts around cancer (e.g. President Obama's National Cancer Moonshot Initiative), and 3) the role of the government in regulating cancer therapies.
Restriction(s):
