Program Introduction (Application link: https://form.jotform.com/212271642480450) Cancer pharmacology encompasses a wide range of therapeutic issues. In the early stages of new drug discovery, translational research has refined the identification of therapeutic targets for clinical relevance and applications. As our understanding of tumor molecular characteristics expands, it becomes more feasible to find existing drugs for drug repurposing or design new drugs that align with these specific characteristics for cancer treatment.

Our training program intends to provide trainees with knowledge of cancer pharmacology, cancer biology, and required lab skills (cell culture, cell viability assays for drug screening, western blotting, flow cytometry analysis, immunofluorescence microscopy analysis) for the understanding of preclinical drug discovery for cancer therapy.
