Overview
This course will explain and expand on the biology of cancer and how imaging can be applied to evaluate oncology questions.
Target Audience
Preclinical and non-cancer researchers.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe the biological underpinnings of current oncology therapeutics and summarize biological differences between cancer and healthy tissue in vivo and in vitro;
- Select metabolites of interest in oncology and design appropriate experiments;
- Distinguish high- and low-field applications for imaging of the tumor microenvironment; and
- Describe the biological underpinnings of future and developing therapies and how imaging may be used in these therapeutics.
