Sreenath:summerseminar
CASE Complex Systems Biology Center
Welcome to the Summer Seminar Wiki!
The purpose of this seminar is to understand concepts and mechanisms in the biology of cancer, and interpret them in a systems context. Presentations will be given once weekly, according to the schedule below. Major topics of discussion are derived from the chapters of Weinberg's new text The Biology of Cancer. More details can be found in the Syllabus.
Available presentation slides can be accessed by clicking the title of the presentation topic for that day.
