Assignment for Conjoint Biology of Neoplasia, May 2008

 

Write a critical review of two of following four topics. Include critical background data, limitations of what is known, and more importantly what is not known. Identify key experiments you might propose to do to support or disprove the concept. About two pages each should be sufficient. Be concise.

On 3 June we will form into four groups according to each topic and each group will have 20-30 minutes to discuss each topic. Everyone will be required to orally argue their case for or against.

Topic 1: DNA damage-induced senescence as a barrier to cancer.

Topic 2: The role of epigenetics in cancer.

Topic 3: Mutator phenotype and cancer.

Topic 4: Stem cells and cancer
