A graduate level course that aims at analyzing
molecular mechanisms of disease.
Mechanisms leading to disease and observed molecular
changes will be dissected in diseases
such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and
Huntington?s disease, infectious diseases and
some inherited diseases. The lectures
will involve discussion of recent advances in the light
of current litterature. Genetic and
environmental causes of cancer, cancer types,
molecular changes causing cancer, metastasis, treatment
of cancer, genetics and molecular
mechanisms leading of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's
and Huntington's disease, major causes of
infectious diseases, viruses, bacteria
and parasites, molecular mechanisms of AIDS,
hepatitis and common bacterial infections,
genetic basis of inherited disease, common
genetic diseases and molecular mechanisms
will be covered during the course.
