The course aims at giving an overview of cancer therapy, from classical chemotherapy to the development of new targeted therapies (e.g. drug nanodelivery systems). Our course will bring together experts with different basic research backgrounds (Biologists, Chemists, Biochemists, Pharmacists, Physicists, etc) and oncology health professionals, which will allow an open discussion on cancer research, as well as on current and future oncological treatments and patient care. The course will be organized in theoretical and laboratory classes and will also include a Workshop for Health Professionals (19th - 20th July 2013) entitled: “Oncological patient therapy- the role of health professionals”.
