Molekulare Pathologie und organspezifische Karzinogenese

What it is about

You gain foundations of molecular pathology and learn organ-specific molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis. By the end you understand the molecular causes of tumor development, typical molecular methods of tissue analysis, and the peculiarities of carcinomas in different organs.

What you will be able to do

• Basic knowledge of molecular pathology
• Understanding of molecular pathology laboratory techniques
• Explanation of molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis
• Recognition of organ-specific features of carcinogenesis
• Ability to understand molecular-pathological questions and to develop solutions
• Insight into human pathology and interest in the diagnostics/therapy of cancer diseases

What the module consists of

• Lecture: Molecular Pathologyconveys methodological basics of tissue analysis and covers cross-disciplinary aspects of pathological processes
• Lecture: Organ-specific molecular carcinogenesisexplains tumor classifications and organ-specific carcinogenesis of important tumor types

Teaching method
