Cancer Immunotherapy

2 credits · Graduate School

(Also listed as a module in IGP). The extraordinary rise of Cancer Immunotherapy is used as a platform to examine the past, current and future implications of this rapidly growing discipline. The team taught course combines didactic lecture with key literature assignments aimed at providing not only an understanding of the current immunotherapy landscape, but also an important sense of perspective. The first half of the course covers basic concepts in adaptive and innate immunology, and cancer, needed to read and understand the literature. The second half is based on recent landmark literature in "Cancer Immunotherapy". Instructor presentations aimed at addressing overarching concepts will be coordinated with student-presentations of key papers. [2] Joyce
