A variety of courses are available to meet the individual interests and requirements of each student. Some of the non-seminar courses commonly taken by Terry Fox Laboratory graduate students are listed below:

Advanced Immunogenetics (MEDG510): Cell-cell interactions, intracellular control mechanisms, analysis of complex systems using transgenic animals and molecular approaches.

Advanced Human Molecular Genetics (MEDG520): Genetic variation, genome analysis, cloning of genes for diseases and normal functions, mutation detection, animal models of human genetic disease. Required for graduate students in Medical Genetics.

Biology and Genetics of Neoplasia (MEDG521): A lecture and seminar course on a wide range of topics focused on molecular and cell biology of cancer. Taught by Terry Fox Laboratory faculty and other cancer researchers. Recommended for all graduate students in the Terry Fox Laboratory.

Concept of Oncology (ONCO502): The biology and epidemiology of cancer, and theories behind prevention, diagnosis and treatment of different types of cancer. Recommended for students interested in cancer research.

General Principles of Pathology (PATH500): Principles underlying the etiology, pathogenesis, disordered physiology and pathologic anatomy of common disease processes. Required of graduate students in Pathology.

Genetics (GENE501, GENE502): A lecture series on recent advances in genetics and an overview of genetics in a variety of systems. The emphasis is on eukaryotic genetics. Required of all students in the Genetics Program.

Molecular and Cellular Biology of Experimental Medicine (MEDI501): Cell and molecular function in normal tissues and in specific disease processes including genetic, viral, bacterial, immune and physiological disorders.

Molecular Regulation of Cell Growth and Differentiation (MEDI590): Topics covered include cytokines and signal transduction mechanisms, actions of oncogenes and tumour suppressor gene products, molecular concepts derived from model systems, and strategies for cytokine therapy.

Nucleic Acids: Structure and Function (BIOC510): The properties of nucleic acids with emphasis on current topics related to replication, expression and regulation of genetic material. Recommended for students in the Genetics Program.
