Cancer & Metabolism:Pathways to the Future

This workshop will cover all the major aspects of metabolic transformation in cancer and will highlight potential therapeutic approaches that target cancer-specific metabolic pathways. 

Topics
- All the major aspects of metabolic transformation in cancer
- Potential therapeutic approaches that target cancer-specific metabolic pathways
- Role of metabolism in tumorigenesis
