ASSISTANT PROFESSOR RÜKSAN ÇEHRELI

Offered to

Basic Oncology

Course Objective

Examination of the relationship between cancer and moleculer nutrition in the process of carcinogenesis .The particularly targeted the investigation and discuss of multidisciplinary research topics context of relations cancer, and genomics ,nutrigenetics nutrigenomics, epigenomics
Nutritional biochemistry is concerned with the properties of nutrients and other dietary constituents and the study of their biochemical, metabolic, physiological and epigenetic functions. An important focus is the application of knowledge in tumour biology and chemoprevention to the synergistic relationships among diet,spesific nutrients
To provide experience in issues related to in vitro conditions of chemoprevention studies . the students Issues in this course about of the project and scientific studies was intended to ensure the adaptation.
