Advancing Cancer Metabolomics: Resources and Research at the Masonic Cancer Center
This mini-symposium will highlight emerging research and institutional resources that are advancing the field of cancer metabolomics at the Masonic Cancer Center. The event will bring together researchers to discuss how metabolomics approaches are being applied to better understand cancer biology and support translational research. Speakers will also provide an overview of available technologies, collaborative opportunities, and core resources that can help researchers integrate metabolomics into their studies.
The symposium is designed for faculty, trainees, and research staff interested in learning more about how metabolomics can enhance cancer research and foster new collaborations across disciplines.
