Overview
Advances in our knowledge of the immune system are changing the ways in which we treat various types of cancer.
Key Features
Understanding how immune cells recognize and kill cancer cells, and what we can do to enhance their ability to fight cancer, is important for anyone working to develop new cancer treatments or apply them in the clinic. The Immuno-oncology course is offered by Harvard Medical School Online .

General requirements
- If you are not taking HMX courses through a school or company, you will need to fill out a brief application that gives us some basic information about you and what you hope to get out of the HMX courses. You will also need to confirm that you’ve met the recommended prerequisites.
- No prerequisites are required, but we do recommend knowledge of basic chemistry, biology, and physics for all HMX courses. For HMX Fundamentals courses and HMX Pro Essentials courses, no advanced knowledge is needed.
- Advanced HMX Pro courses focus on a specific topic in depth; in order to get the most from these courses, participants should have some knowledge of the underlying topic (for example, genetics or immunology). Those requiring further background may choose to take an accompanying Essentials course, or consider our HMX Fundamentals courses for a more broad overview.
Technological requirements
The lessons require a modern browser – the latest Chrome, Safari, or Firefox should work well. The HMX platform allows engagement with the content, including course videos, with bandwidth of at least 750 Kbps download speed.
