This tumor visualization window allows scientists to gain insight into the physiological barriers against cancer treatments. (Figure by MIT OCW, after Dr. Rakesh Jain.)
Course Highlights
Course Description
Tumor pathophysiology plays a central role in the growth, invasion, metastasis and treatment of solid tumors. This class applies principles of transport phenomena to develop a systems-level, quantitative understanding of angiogenesis, blood flow and microcirculation, metabolism and microenvironment, transport and binding of small and large molecules, movement of cancer and immune cells, metastatic process, and treatment response.
