About the Viral Oncology: Understanding Cancer Viruses Course
The Viral Oncology: Understanding Cancer Viruses course is an intermediate-level program designed to provide learners with a structured understanding of how certain viruses contribute to cancer development, progression, diagnosis, prevention, and therapeutic research. The course explores the relationship between viral infection, cellular transformation, tumorigenesis, immune response, and cancer biology.
This program introduces learners to major cancer-associated viruses, including Human Papillomavirus, Epstein-Barr Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus, Human T-cell Leukemia Virus, Kaposi Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus, and other oncogenic viral systems. Learners will examine how these viruses influence gene expression, cell cycle regulation, immune evasion, chronic inflammation, and cancer progression.
Special emphasis is placed on Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Cancer Diagnostics, Cancer Prevention, Cancer Research Program, Cancer Viruses, and Epstein-Barr Virus, helping learners understand how viral oncology supports modern cancer research, diagnostic development, vaccine strategies, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic innovation.
