Thematik

Novel antibodies against receptors, protein kinase inhibitors, and antisense oligonucleotides targeting both signal transduction and gene expression will predominate the therapeutic approaches in the coming decades. The course focus on the therapeutic potential for targeting cell signaling mechanisms with particular attention to cancer therapies and inflammatory signaling pathways as well as immunomodulation. General concepts of inter-and intracellular signal transduction: receptor-mediated signal transduction, cell surface receptors, steroid hormone and nuclear receptors and their cytoplasmic signal transduction and nuclear responses, apoptotic cell signaling will be discussed together with the novel approaches to drug discovery in signal transduction.
