Overview
Held virtually April 6-7, 2021, the SNO-NCI Joint Symposium: “Targeting CNS Tumor Metabolism” fostered collaboration in the area of metabolism that positively influenced outcomes for patients with CNS cancers.

Participants gained the understanding in CNS tumor metabolism via the use of state-of-the-art techniques; the interaction between the metabolism and the other -omics such as epigenomics, transcriptomics, as well as the current standard of care; and the challenges in targeting the metabolic signaling pathways.

Sessions and Abstract Topics:  

  1. Epigenome, Transcriptome, Metabolome and Modeling
  2. Metabolic Biomarkers and Imaging
  3. Metabolic Drug Targets, Resistance
  4. Metabolic Fluxes and Signaling of Metabolic Pathways
  5. Technologies for Studying Brain Metabolism
