Learning Outcomes of UE

The course describes the critical role of nuclear receptors in cell signaling. It helps to understand the mechanism of steroid hormone actions and their related compounds. It also examines the breast cancer hormone therapy. The course will be teached in english.

Content of UE

The course describes the basics of cell communication and signaling; the discovery, structure and properties of the nuclear receptors; the interactions between nuclear receptors and other signaling pathways; the role of estrogen receptors in breast cancer and as therapeutic targets, as well as new nuclear receptor inhibition strategies.

Prior Experience

Basics in cell and molecular biology. English
