EACR Conference on Cancer Metabolism

The study of cancer metabolism has changed our view of tumour biology. Cancer and stromal cells alter their metabolic wiring in order to meet the energetic and anabolic demands, to cope with external insults, to survive in hostile environments and to alter the molecular properties of the niche they inhabit. In this context, it is not surprising that genomic and cellular signalling perturbations have profound consequences on the metabolic landscape. The EACR Conference on Cancer Metabolism will gather top experts in the field in Bilbao, Spain to discuss the metabolic alterations in tumours and how we can exploit this to treat cancer. The target audience for this conference is basic and translational scientists and clinicians, both senior and young investigators that want to have a broad and detailed overview of the most recent advances in the field of cancer metabolism. Topics to be covered: - Metabolic reprogramming in cancer beyond anabolism - Metabolic transformation in cancer cells / Metabolic signalling in cancer - Metabolic cross talk in the tumor microenvironment - Metabolic regulation of gene expression - Immune cell metabolism in cancer - Nucleotide metabolism and cancer - Metabolic approaches to therapy - Systemic metabolic changes and cancer progression
