Deciphering the Warburg effect: metabolic reprogramming, epigenetic dysregulation, and cell dedifferentiation

Learn how the Warburg effect promotes tumorigenesis. The seminar will discuss how metabolic reprogramming causes epigenetic dysregulation, leading to cell dedifferentiation and tumor progression, and how to use metabolic therapy to reverse the Warburg effect and reactivate differentiation program for the cure of cancer. 

Speakers:
Jiangbin Ye, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology
Haowen Jiang, PhD, Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Biology
