ONCSC 6700 - 001 Tumor Microenvironment
This course will be on Thursdays from 1:00 to 3:00 pm in the Huntsman Cancer Institute Research South 2C Conference Room. Prerequisite: This course is designed for graduate students that have completed their first year Tumor development and progression are shaped by both tumor-intrinsic and -extrinsic factors. While the importance of the interaction between tumor cells and the host microenvironment was first proposed over a century ago, advances in technology and our understanding of the tumor microenvironment have led to an increasing appreciation for the role of the host in cancer progression. This course will focus on the contribution of both the cellular and non-cellular components of the tumor microenvironment to tumor progression and response to therapy, including – but not limited to – stromal cells, immune cells, and the extracellular matrix. This is an Advanced Seminar course and will utilize the primary literature as a basis for student presentations and critical discussion.

ONCSC 6700 - 002 Signaling Concepts in Cancer
Room HCI Research South-5C This advanced graduate course will cover a range of fundamental and emerging concepts in cell signaling, including post-translational modifications, protein-protein interaction domains, small GTPases, kinase/phosphatase and ion channel signaling, steroid and membrane receptor signaling, and protein phase separation as an organizing principle for signal transduction. Instructors will give introductory lectures on key topics and students will read and present classic and new literature in each topic area. The class will rely heavily on group discussion and critical analysis of the literature. Course goals: Students will deepen their mechanistic understanding of core and emerging concepts in cell signaling. Students will sharpen their ability to pinpoint important knowledge gaps and understand how they can be addressed with experimental techniques. Students will improve their ability to read and critically analyze the scientific literature. This includes understanding the stepwise logic of experimental design.
