Description

Scientific and clinical research has revolutionised the treatment of childhood and TYA (Teen and Young Adults) cancer, resulting in vastly improved outcomes. However, still too many lives are lost to cancer, underlining the importance of developing novel therapies for those cancers that are resistant to current therapy. In this module, you will be taught by scientists and clinicians who study the molecular mechanisms of childhood and TYA cancers, treat patients diagnosed with cancer and develop new therapies.

Incorporating lectures on the biology of this specific group of cancers and case studies, the module will illustrate the current state and future directions of childhood and TYA cancer research. Lectures will cover topics such as the impact of genomics on the molecular classification of brain cancer, the use of CAR-T cells in novel therapies, precision medicine and drug development, and experimental cancer models.
