Students will develop skills in critical reading and presentation of relevant literature by attending journal clubs and case discussions. Special attention will be given to advanced models to study tumor cell behavior and to identify therapeutic targets, including 3D in vitro models, bio-printing and mathematical modelling. These topics will be covered via lectures and practical demonstrations in small groups.
