11.21.24| Defining Stress Tolerance Dependencies and Vulnerabilities of Cancer Cells

November 21, 2024

Live Lecture  ~ 4:00 - 5:00 PM EST
Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University 

Guest Speaker:

Cyrus Vaziri, PhD
Professor of Pathology
University of North Carolina
School of Medicine
Chapel Hill, NC

Target Audience

This educational initiative is designed for local, physicians, specialists, residents, and fellows, specializing in Pathology. 

Learning Objectives

After participation in this session the learner should be better able to:

  • Understand that during multi-step tumorigenesis cancer cells experience high levels of stress from intrinsic sources and are therefore critically dependent on ‘stress-tolerance’ mechanisms for survival.
  • Recognize that In the clinic, chemotherapy-induced stress is a valuable strategy for killing cancer cells, but that cancer cells pathologically deploy stress tolerance mechanisms to resist therapy and become ‘chemoresistant’.
  • Understand that the stress-tolerance mechanisms sustaining cancer cells are molecular vulnerabilities and provide valuable opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
