Cancer & Metabolism:Pathways to the Future

 
  February 02, 2010  
     
 
Abcam PLC and Eyal Gottlieb, Karen Vousden (The Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, Edinburgh, Scotland
19-21 September, 2010


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
