Genetic & Metabolic Determinants of Tumor Evolution and Metastasis
Dr. Ngo from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (USA) will present his research on the interplay between genomic instability, nutrient constraints, and metabolism on cancer cell survival and proliferation.
Online
Dr. Bryan Ngo’s research focuses on dissecting the complex interplay between genomic instability, nutrient constraints, and metabolic synthetic processes that impact the ability of a cancer cell to survive and proliferate in diverse metastatic tissue environments.
In this webinar hosted by GeneTex, he will describe two independent studies that:
- connect a form of genetic instability, namely chromosomal instability (CIN), with its causal role in inflammation-driven metastasis,
- uncover a novel therapeutic paradigm that exploits the interplay between extracellular nutrient availability and cell-intrinsic glucose-derived serine synthesis in the context of brain metastasis.
Dr. Ngo’s work is expanding our knowledge of how chromosomal instability, innate immune signaling, and cancer metabolism drive metastasis, and how this insight can potentially offer new therapeutic approaches to treat metastatic disease.
