How to Starve a Tumor - Understanding the Biology of Metabolism in Physiology and Cancer

Explore a 56-minute lecture by Dr. Kivanç Birsoy, the Chapman Perelman Associate Professor from the Laboratory of Metabolic Regulation and Genetics at The Rockefeller University, on understanding the biology of metabolism in physiology and cancer. Hosted by Richard P. Lifton, M.D., Ph.D., President and Carson Family Professor from the Laboratory of Human Genetics and Genomics, this talk delves into metabolic approaches to cancer treatment, specifically examining how tumors can be effectively "starved" by targeting their unique metabolic vulnerabilities. Learn about cutting-edge research in cancer metabolism that offers promising new therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.
