About This Course
Molecular Basis of Cancer: Therapeutics and Targets explains what actually goes wrong in a cancer cell and how that understanding becomes treatment. You study the molecular drivers — oncogenes, tumour-suppressor genes and dysregulated signalling pathways — and the hallmarks of cancer that unify them. The course then connects biology to therapy: how targeted drugs exploit specific molecular vulnerabilities, how resistance emerges, and how modern approaches including immunotherapy fit in. Grounded in real examples, it builds a mechanism-to-treatment understanding. You finish able to connect a cancer’s molecular biology to its therapeutic targets. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
