This course is provided by the NYCUCollege of Biomedical Science and Engineering.
This course focuses on logical thinking and problem-solving to enhance students' abilities to study and address clinical unmet needs in cancer. The first half of the course covers the fundamentals of cancer biology and advances to the complexities of tumors, understanding "why cancer develops and progresses." The second half of the course focuses on tumor model engineering and its clinical applications, exploring "how to develop biomedical engineering technologies for cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment."
