Course #: PHYSIC 645, Class #: 10693, Section #: 01
Description
This course deals with the application of physics principles and technologies to cancer biology, diagnosis, and treatment, with an emphasis on relevant current literature. Subject matter crosses traditional disciplinary lines to integrate physical, mathematical and molecular descriptions of tumor growth, development, and metastasis as well as physics-based techniques, especially imaging modalities, for both basic investigation and in clinical cancer diagnostics and monitoring. Photomedicine, including photodynamic therapy for treatment of cancer and underlying photophysics is also discussed.
