OVERVIEW

Research in the cell cycle field is rapidly progressing in the last few years. Understanding the cell cycle machinery and its controls has far-reaching implications in fundamental vital processes, e.g. cell differentiation, developmental diseases, the molecular bases of regenerative medicine, the onset of genetic instability, the molecular implications of replicative and repair mechanisms in genome editing strategies, the loss of cell cycle regulatory mechanisms in cancer, the design of innovative therapies.  

The Cell Cycle course aims to provide updated molecular knowledge to address these issues. To this purpose the programme will  include two modules:

 1. The molecular bases of the cell cycle and its checkpoints

 2. The mechanisms of cell division and their importance in the origin and therapy of cancer.
